Yes, that worked.

If I've done previous backups, it'll work to use an existing rdiff-backup now 
that carbon file support is added?

I haven't seen any, but I haven't done Mac to Mac backups like Kevin.

BTW, this message was taken out in 1.1.1:

I think it's a good idea to still warn if --no-carbonfile is used, although 
putting this specific code back in doesn't seem to cause a warning if 
--no-carbonfile is given.
