ListError when using sudo

Post ListError when using sudo 
Hi there

I have a backup server setup to backup another server through an
unprivileged user. The unprivileged user is in the sudoers file and
kan sudo without password.

My rdiff-backup command:
/usr/bin/rdiff-backup --remote-schema 'ssh -C %s nice sudo
/usr/bin/rdiff-backup --server --restrict-read-only /'
backup < at > host.domain.com::/ /data2/backup/host/

So how I see it is that I should be able to read all files, no matter
what permissions? However I get errors like this on files owned by
root with r/w on user only:

ListError /etc/exim4/passwd.client [Errno 13] Permission denied:
'/etc/exim4/passwd.client'

A test locally on the server I backup with the backup user and sudo
gives no trouble.

Ideas?

Is this on all files owned by root or just some?

This is on all files owned by root and having only owner r/w permissions (600)
