[rdiff-backup-users] Problems removing some increments

[Valerio Pachera]

Hi all, I was trying to remove some increments but i got the error
reporte in the end of the mail.
After I got this error, it's not possible to remove any other increment.

This is the increment list I get now by rdiff-backup:
---
rdiff-backup --list-increments /mnt/storage/backup/vm/
Found 1 increments:
    increments.2010-09-18T00:32:48+02:00.dir   Sat Sep 18 00:32:48 2010
Current mirror: Mon Sep 20 00:32:06 2010
---

So, only one...
And these are the increments I see in the backup directory

I'm using rdiff-backup 1.2.5 on debian lenny.
Backup is done from 2 local disks (xfs ->ext3).

I can tell you that a big file (35G) has been removed from the source
dir time ago, and now the source directory is 33G and the destination
dir is 84
What canI do? Do you know why that has happend?

Thank you.
