Hi, I'm getting errors when running a local backup. Output is as  
follows, but I have trimmed off the huge list of files it has  
regressed. I am running this on Mac OS 10.3.9 the source is a  
directory on local internal HD and the destination is an local HD  
connected over 'Firewire' IEEE 1394 (not that this should make any  
difference). I am running this from a wrapper script I wrote that is  
run every night by cron but I also get problems when run this  
manually. I have had exceptions with the current stable and dev  
versions of rdiff. Is anything getting backed up here? Is it a  
problem with disk corruption or some kind of apple file weirdness?  
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks, Will

Previous backup seems to have failed, regressing destination now.
