Having a backup program raising unhandled exceptions is quite
disturbing. Please consider properly handling this case.
The output you pasted seems to indicate rdiff-backup was handling the
exceptions. That "UpdateError" message comes from rdiff-backup. In
general if there is a unhandled exception in python the program exits
immediately.
I just tried this on my machine, when run as normal user, everything
works fine (although there will be tons of error messages when trying
to read /proc). When run as root it seems to hang, probably on a file
read to some special proc file (that ordinary users don't have access
to). That's not really ideal but I don't see offhand how to fix stuff
like that.
