Hi Greg,

I don't think there is a single command to list all of them, but you
could run one or more

'rdiff-backup --list-at-time foo D <path-to-pertinent-backup-dir>'

to get a listing of said dir at time foo. So if you repeat that for all
ten $foo dates you have, you list all files you've backed up there.
