[rdiff-backup-users] Unicode error while running rdiff-backup

[Saptarshi Guha]

Hello,

I ran rdiff-backup --exclude ~/Library/Caches ~/Library address@hidden::/Library

during this process i got the following error(emphasis mine)

I'm not sure the error is related tot the Citrix ICA client file.

How do i fix this **without** needing to exclude specific files.

Thanks 

Saptarshi
