Hi Andrew,
for my problem you provided the right relief - thank you very much

Mon Oct 06 17:20:31 2008  Writing file object to

's:/eigenedateien/rdiff-backup.tmp.1': (5, 'SetNamedSecurityInfo', 
'Zugriff verweigert')

So the exception changed to a warning (obviously), which allows the 
processing to continue.

However - one question remains: why does it try to deal with ACLs at 
all?  I specified the --no-acls option....

Anyways - for my purposes your change works great and makes rdiff-backup 
usable in my environment. Thank you very much,

Richard.
