Could you tell me what the rdiff-backup-data/chars_to_quote file is
when:

1) You make a repository from scratch with the most recent version
2) For older versions, if you have any repository laying around

What is this M&D/Updates/.../iTunes_____________.rtf file?  Are there
really a lot of weird characters in it?  After a little manual
translating they look possibly Japanese to me :)

Try this patch to fs_abilities.py:

                        ext_rp.touch()


BTW after reading a little bit about unicode I realize that some of
what I was saying earlier may not have made any sense.  I suppose to
do all this stuff theoretically right rdiff-backup needs to become
unicode aware, and also needs to test the filesystem to see what kind
of unicode encoding is supported.  But I think we can put that off for
a while.
