[Jacobo Saúl Arvelo Estévez \"UNIX4ALL\"]

Hi to all;

First, thanks to the developers of this excellent tool that are  
letting me to sleep more :-) and second, please accept my apologies  
about my bad english ( Im spanish ).

Well, im using rdiff-backup on my ubuntu 6.06.2 LTS server ( all  
patches applied as today ).

Versions:

rdiff-backup 1.1.5-1
python 2.4.2-0ubuntu3
openssh 1:4.2p1-7ubuntu3

This is on the client side ( the server that im making the backups ).

In the server side ( the machine that holds the backup ).

FreeBSD 6.2-prerelease
python-2.4.3
rdiff-backup-devel-1.1.5
ssh from the base system

Well, im backing up 2 dirs, one with a www pages and another dir with  
a database, since 4 days aprox, the backing up of the www pages dir  
fails, with this error:
