[rdiff-backup-users] 1.1.2 restore error with readonly backup

[Blair Zajac]

Trying to restore from an rdiff-backup created by root as my normal user, I got 
this stack trace:

$ rdiff-backup -r now

It wasn't until I used -v 9 that I got this:

/var/rdiff-backups/orca1.orcaware.com
Mon Nov  7 21:18:17 2005  ACLs not supported by filesystem at 
/var/rdiff-backups/orca1.orcaware.com/rdiff-backup-data
Mon Nov  7 21:18:17 2005  Exception '[Errno 13] Permission denied: 
'/var/rdiff-backups/orca1.orcaware.com/rdiff-backup-data'' raised of class 
'exceptions.OSError':
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff_backup/robust.py", line 32, in

    try: return function(*args)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff_backup/rpath.py", line 840, in 
listdir
    return self.conn.os.listdir(self.path)


Is there a bug here in the logging code?  Without the -v 9, I didn't get any 
message that something was wrong.
