[rdiff-backup-users] Exception thrown in 1.3.1

[Craig Findlay]

The following crash happens consistently in 1.3.1.

The process is backing up from a Windows Small Business Server to a Linux backup server. I have checked the source directory and there does not seem to be anything unusual with the permissions.

Could it be something to do with the dot in the directory name?

(This is a new rdiff-backup set being created from an existing data mirror, so the rdiff-backup-data directory is empty at this point, just mentioning that in case it may be relevant.)

 

Cheers,

Craig

Found interrupted initial backup. Removing...
