[rdiff-backup-users] Update errors - file does not match source

[Kevin Horton]

I'm running rdiff-backup 1.1.5 on OS X 10.4.4.  I'm getting eight  
errors like:

Cannot read carbonfile information from /Users/kwh/Desktop/RV_Stuff/ 
POH archive/graphs/all-3.gp
UpdateError Desktop/RV_Stuff/POH archive/graphs/all-3.gp Updated  
mirror temp file /Volumes/Maxtor_300/bu/PowerMac/Desktop/RV_Stuff/POH  
archive/graphs/rdiff-backup.tmp.2 does not match source

These errors are consistent - I see the same errors for the same  
files every time I backup.  The backup finishes apparently normally,  
with no errors listed in the session statistics.  The files that have  
the UpdateErrors have apparently not changed since I first started  
using rdiff-backup.  They have modification times of March 2005, or  
earlier.  If I look in the backup directory, those files do not  
appear.  I.e. they are not backed up.

What do these errors mean?

What could have caused the situation that triggers these errors?

I think it would be better if rdiff-backup somehow made it very clear  
to the user that some files were not backed up.  I picked it up by  
studying the output, but I would have missed them if I only looked at  
the number of errors at the end of the session statistics.  The fact  
that some files are not backed up could be very important, depending  
on what the files are.
