[rdiff-backup-users] check-destination-dir errno 5

[Pete Morrison]

My backup failed part way through.  I tryed to revert to previous good version with "--check-destination-dir"
but the file in error '/mnt/bkup2/duffy/etc/./rdiff-backup-data/file_statistics.2010-07-29T06:19:52Z.data.gz'
does not exist.

So how may I get past this - what causes rdiff-backup to expect this file to be there?
I dont mind losing one or more days of backup.
