[rdiff-backup-users] "stale NFS file handle" using check-destination-dir w/ NFS

[Charles Duffy]

Per subject. I'm able to access this file normally via the local 
filesystem, and I have the same exception in the same place when trying 
to run --check-destination-dir against a different destination location.

This is with Linux 2.6 on both ends; the NFS mount options are 
rw,hard,intr,acl.

$ rdiff-backup --check-destination-dir 
/mnt/backup/rdiff_backup/customer/backup
