here is a machine i have sudo on that backs up fine:

$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/sudoedit
---s--x--x  2 root  wheel  105088 Sep 22 15:27 /usr/local/bin/sudoedit

$ mount
/dev/mirror/gm0s1f on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates)

$ uname -v
FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #1: Mon Aug 27 15:50:10 EDT 2007

$ rdiff-backup -V
rdiff-backup 1.0.5

this platform and version combination appear to work. we can narrow
the issue down to something with:

1. the user running rdiff-backup (i run it as root)
2. underlying filesystem (freebsd 7 has some new options for the file system)
3. secure level. i run with the default secure level
4. something specific to rdiff-backup-dev (i am using rdiff-backup stable)
