It seems your most recent mirror_metadata file is corrupt.  You can
check their integrity by by running:

    gzip -t rdiff-backup-data/mirror_metadata.<time here>.gz

If this is the problem, it doesn't necessarily mean there is a problem
in the version you have.  (You've been testing versions that have been
crashing a lot recently.)

So try running 1.1.0 on a clean repository.  If this works with no
issues (and it gets the quoting right) you can try using 1.0.x to make
a backup and then test to make sure 1.1.0 can upgrade it correctly.

No problem, thanks for the testing you've done so far, I hope the
current version is working pretty well.
