Backup Central

Hi,

When restoring files from a backup, I'm getting the following assertion
error:

Processing changed file atsar/atsa31

Both sides are running rdiff-backup 0.13.4. Has anyone seen this error
before? Is this a known problem, and is there a workaround?

We get that problem. We've had it since 0.13.2 I think. Not sure what the
solution is. It seems to get into certain directories and then not be able
to get out. To get it working I commented out the assert line. That's not
ideal, but it's been working for us for several months now. My python isn't
good enough to write a fix. :)
