[rdiff-backup-users] "Fatal Error": with --compare option

[Belmar-Letelier]

With 0.13.4 on both client and server::

  address@hidden:~$ rdiff-backup -V
  rdiff-backup 0.13.4

With all the metadata in the archive directory::

$ pwd
/backups/luis_projects/rdiff-backup-data
$ ls mirror_metadata.2005-11-0*

I get this error trying to use the  --compare option


$ rdiff-backup --compare luis_backup::/home/luis/projects
/backups/luis_projects
Warning: ownership cannot be changed on filesystem at
/backups/luis_projects/rdiff-backup-data
Warning, metadata file not found.
Metadata will be read from filesystem.
Fatal Error: Mirror metadata not found

I join the strace log file

$ strace rdiff-backup --compare luis_backup::/home/luis/projects
/backups/luis_projects 2> strace_log.txt



Cheers, luis
