[rdiff-backup-users] rdiff-backup stops working after system upgrade

[Ronald Haynes]

Hi, I have had rdiff-backup happily working to backups of my mandriva  
linux system to a remote host.
The jobs run at scheduled times using cron.

Upon updating my mandriva system to 2007.1 rdiff-backup stopped working.
If I issue the command directly from the prompt I receive the messages  
listed below, it does indicate a warning of incompatible versions, is this  
the problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

R Haynes
