Thank you for this great bug report.  I was also able to consistently
trigger it with EncFS.  Try the patch at:

http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/rdiff_backup/backup.py.diff?r2=1.30.2.2&r1=1.30.2.1&diff_format=u

Also I came across a related fs_abilities.py problem that this patch

http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/rdiff_backup/rpath.py.diff?r2=1.87.2.2&r1=1.87.2.1&diff_format=u

may help with.  (Both of these are for the stable branch.)  I hope
this fixes the NFS bug people have been reporting for years...
