The list seems to be a bit quiet. If this is the wrong place for this report, someone please tell me the correct one 
I feel I did not provide enough information to get rid of the below bug. So, here you go:
<![if !supportLists]>1. <![endif]>I am using rdiff 1.3.3 for a local backup on a windows server 2003 32bit machine.
<![if !supportLists]>2. <![endif]>I am using the windows release that can be downloaded on rdiff-backup.nongnu.org as rdiff-backup-1.3.3-win32.zip.
<![if !supportLists]>3. <![endif]>My rdiff call is: rdiff-backup --force --no-acls --no-hard-links --print-statistics --include "D:\/home" --include "D:\/profile" --exclude "D:\/share/ElRv-Daten" --include "D:\/share" --exclude "D:\/**" D:/ D:/rd/data
<![if !supportLists]>4. <![endif]>"Zugriff verweigert" in the below message is german for "permission denied". When checking the folders, I found that the ACL entries are okay, but the read-only flag on the "Eigene Bilder" folder was set.
So all in all, it seems to me that rdiff cannot remove this flag from folders. Below linked you find a similar problem with files. Next, windows prevents rdiff from deleting a folder that is still marked "read-only". Consecuently, Rdiff crashes.
To support my concern, I can tell you that you find quite a number of „read only folders“ on windows systems, because that windows itself uses the read only flag on folders differently than on files: see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/256614 . Additionally, the attribute setting for folders may be handled different (for example, you can’t remove read only attribute on folders just using the explorer).
Any help is appreciated, really... I like rdiff and don’t want to chance the backup system (again)...
Cheers,
David

found at target
Hi guys,
I have rdiff crashing when read-only files are in the rdiff repository. It
gives the following Exceptions:
Exception '[Error 5] Zugriff verweigert: 'D:\/rd/data/home/kwasny/Eigene

Sounds similar to me like the old read-only file issue.
