You need to fix your site-packages/rdiff_backup/ directory. Is there a  
place I can download the package you installed from to verify the  
problem?

Here are the correct capitalizations for the files which are  
capitalized:

FilenameMapping.py
Globals.py
Hardlink.py
Main.py
Rdiff.py
Security.py
SetConnections.py
TempFile.py
Time.py

There's also the possibility that your Python distributor overrode the  
import command. That would explain why __import__ worked for you.
