Thanks for figuring this one out.
The original code to disable hardlinks by default on Windows only worked when both sides were running from the same rdiff-backup instance. I have fixed the stable and development versions in CVS so that this works properly in other configurations (such as source Windows and dest Linux).
I hope to have another release ready soon.

Thanks for the help,

I've tried it on XP backing up to an Ubuntu Hardy desktop, and on Vista backing up to an Ubuntu Intrepid laptop. In both cases the target file system was JFS, and I ended up with numerous increments for files that haven't changed. It may be the JFS file system, in which case I could try something else, but first I'd like some verification that people are experiencing normal behavior backing up from Windows to Linux.
