I don't think changing the excludes will have made a difference, but
you could try deleting them just to check.

>From the looks of the traceback you posted, I suspect there's something
wrong with your destination folder.  Although I don't really understand
the code in detail, it appears to me as though rdiff-backup is finding
an empty list of increments, something it apparently isn't prepared
to handle.

I'm assuming you are getting one traceback for each command in your bash
file, if that isn't the case let me know :)

I'd advise deleting your backup target directory and reinitializing it.
