That is the source of your problem.

You are not giving rdiff-backup have enough time to finish the job.  
There cannot be more than one instance of rdiff-backup running at one  
time.

How long does rdiff-backup "generally" take to complete on your  
system? (use the --print-statistics) option.

Then, set your backup to run automatically in a time interval greater  
than that. For example, on my system it takes about 15 minutes.  
Therefore, if I wanted backups all the time, I would set it to run  
every 20 or 30 minutes.
