Hmm, this should work (and did at one point, but there aren't any
read-only tests in the suite, so it could have easily gotten broken).
What errors are you getting?  The logfile error was fixed so
rdiff-backup would continue without logging if it couldn't write a log. 
(At least that is my recollection.)
