SuSE Linux 9.1, rdiff-backup 0.12.6, Gnome 2.4
Before doing a fresh install of SuSE Linux 9.1, rdiff-backup worked well under SuSE Linux 9.0. Now, it doesn't seem to want to work. I've tried several times. Each time, rdiff-backup goes thru about a half-dozen directories and then terminates with the errors and traceback shown below. Can anyone see a clue as to what I'm doing wrong? The only error I understand is the one about no medium but I've checked my configuration and /media/cdrecorder is connected to my cd-rom burner, at least according to YaST (if you are a SuSE fan). Any help will be appreciated since my archive backup is getting older and more out of date by the minute.

P.S. I've left this in HTML so that if you read it in HTML, you can stretch your window so that the lines don't wrap. Hope this is okay.
