[rdiff-backup-users] Problem with cifs

[Gwenael Casaccio]

Hi,

I'm trying to use rdiff-backup to backup my home directory
on a mounted samba share with cifs :

   sudo mount -t cifs //BLABLA/foo /mnt/xork/ -
ousername=xyz,password=xyz,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777

  rdiff-backup /home/blabla/ /mnt/xork/

and I have this error :

Cannot change permissions on target directory.                               
ACLs not supported by filesystem at /home/blabla

I use the rdiff-backup version 1.1.16


Do you have any idea on how to solve this problem ?

Cheers,
