It's no clue, it's how rdiff-backup is written, it's a bit an annoyance 
but no priority to fix for now...

The error seems to be within the xattr library of Python. Can you tell us:

1. which version of rdiff-backup (--version)?
2. which OS and version (Linux, Windows...)?
3. which file system type you are using to backup?
4. do you also get the issue if you use the `--no-eas` option?
