I circumvented the problem: I found a bit of space on an ext3 partition
and started over there, and rdiff-backup worked nicely, so I guess it
was an ntfs thing.  

I was going to copy the old files over, but they seemed to be owned by
root, at least at the top levels, and that made me suspicious.

If anyone knows how to make ntfs-3g write to filesystems in this case,
I'm listening, because I could want to recover data from old backups
sometime.  That said, I'm probably okay.
