Ok, this probably indicates that extended attributes recently became
available on the source filesystem, either because they have just been
enabled, or the pyxattr module was just installed.

Thus, rdiff-backup thinks that it should have backed-up extended
attributes at some point in the past, and is confused as to why there
isn't a store of them on the server.
