[rdiff-backup-users] Output from failed backup

[Errol Siegel]

I set up a remote backup that worked the first night
it ran, but failed the next two times with the same
output.  Here is the command line I used:

rdiff-backup --print-statistics
--include-globbing-filelist
/backup/rdiff_include_globbing_filelist_ontoserv
ontoserv-backup::/www/vhosts /backup/ontoserv

Here is the output:

Can anybody tell me what is going wrong?
