Hi,
I want to backup some windows-directories to a samba-share on a remote
machine. The samba share is mounted as X: under Windows XP.
If I issue the following backup command:
$ rdiff-backup --windows-mode dir_to_be_backuped /cygdrive/X/
I get an error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/rdiff-backup", line 23, in ?

The python version is 2.3.4, so it is probably not the broken fsync
command under windows. However, since I get this error message even when I
execute rdiff-backup under the windows administrator account, I am quite
sure, that there is no permission problem either. The same error happens,
if we use a local (windows) cygwin directory as a rdiff-target, so it is
probably also not a samba issue.
Using the rdiff-backup server does also not work, as we get an even more
obscure dll-relocation error.
Any suggestions?
