[rdiff-backup-users] file doesn't exist backup bug

[David Kempe]

Hi,
I am getting an error on of my cifs mounted backups -
There is something strange about the file it is trying to backup - when 
rsync trys to copy it, it says File has gone away or something to that 
effect, but it continues on. I would like rdiff-backup to do the same - 
continue on when strange files appear....
cp says no such file or directory when asked to copy the files. I know 
its a crap use case, but you can't account for what users are going to 
make you do. Here is a list of the directory:

ls -al /mnt/server-data/data/USERS/JASON/New\ Briefcase-20050929/Jason\ 
Others/Marketing/Exhibition/CPSE\ 2005\ Shenzhen_051101-04/

-rwxrwSrwt    1 root     root       802170 Apr 18 15:21 ????????????????.eml

rdiff-backup crashes with the following traceback when copying one of 
the files with question marks. They might in reality have chinese 
characters or something..

thanks
