[rdiff-backup-users] Reverting backup fails

[Sebastien Maret]

Hello,

I am trying to revert a backup directory, because the last backup
seems to have failed. I am getting the following error:

% rdiff-backup --check-destination-dir .
Exception '[Errno 2] No such file or directory:

How can I fix this? I am using rdiff-backup 1.1.14 on Mac OS 10.4.10.
