Yesterday I also tried to remove all the files related to the "temp"
directory in the rdiff-backup-data directory with the same results.

I need to get this fixed as this server is no longer being backed up,
and I *really* don't want to blow away my entire rdiff-backup-data
directory as I'd lose all my increments.

I'd be more than happy to provide anything else needed to solve this.

Thanks.
