I tried to clean up some of the old cruft in my backup repository by
using the --remove-older-than command. I used the exact same command
that I have successfully used in the past, with previous versions of
rdiff-backup, but it doesn't work with v1.1.9
sudo rdiff-backup -v5 --remove-older-than 6M --force --print-statistics
