Clint,

I noticed there is something librsync specific in rdiff-backup. It
appears not enough to have librsync 9.7 installed, but to be sure that
rdiff-backup is deinstalled, remade and reinstalled afterward. Also
the librsync.h file is different between 9.6 and 9.7 and there is a
dependency for it in rdiff backup.

I noticed on one system I have that is not X11, just a command line
box that installing librsync got v9.6. But on an xorg/kde box
librsync binaries got upgraded to v9.7 though freebsd thinks they are
still 9.6. The actual content of the binaries was 9.7. I installed
rdiff-backup later on that box and it worked-- but that box was the
backup file source, not the backup computer. So the moral is:

Make sure you've cleaned off and then reinstalled rdiff backup AFTER
you've got librsync 9.7 installed on the machine not running
rdiff-backup --server.

It kicks off once a night so I'll check it again tomorrow. But,
amazingly, when I came into work today the backup system was powered
down (which only happens if there was no error reported during the
attempt the night before). Still a chance of some problems, so I'm
doing a huge diff via NFS now which will take hours. It's been
running for a while now and the comparisons of the big files are ok so
far.

I've made sure to compile rdiff-backup after upgrading the librsync, so
I don't think you are going to be able to get any further. I think
somewhere the precision needed to keep how many chunks/blocks/whatever
need to be transferred isn't high enough.

The file it hangs on here is 31.3 G (large base + incremental backups).

Around 25 gig is the smallest file I see the problem with. Initial
backup goes fine, but on next rdiff-backup when the file changes it
errors out.
