[rdiff-backup-users] missing hashes and cygwin 1.1.15

[David A. Horner]

Hello there everyone!

Love rdiff-backup, been using it for quite some time now.  I'm just
now trying cygwin for rdiff-backup.
I have been using 1.0.5 and all my increments were created using 1.0.5.

When installing cygwin, I found that there was support already in
setup.exe this was rdiff-backup 1.1.15,
So I've also gone to my machines with 1.0.5 and replaced them with
1.1.15 as well.  Backups using 1.1.15 between fedora machines work
fine.

However. When I try to restore in cygwin going against a fedora 7
machine using 1.1.15 I get the following:

A ton of messages of the form:
Hash for /path/to/file missing, cannot check

Then after all the hash missing errors it finally dies on this exception:
Exception '[Errno 2] No such file or directory' raised of class '<type
'exceptions.OSError'>':

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Can anyone suggest how I go about resolving these missing hash errors?
 Also the exception?

Thanks so much,  I sleep better now that I have rdiff-backup in my life. :)
