seems to be going just fine. Well, until this morning when I got the
following error:

Sadly my python-fu isn't good enough to know what is going on here
Something to do with pickles? Or unpickles?
Also I have had another one that doesn't seem to matter a huge amount,
but it's an error that greets me every morning regardless.
Warning: ownership cannot be changed on filesystem at backups/arcterex.net/rdiff-backup-data
Warning: ownership cannot be changed on filesystem at backups/arcterex.net/rdiff-backup-data
This error comes from backing up (as root) from my local webserver to
remote server (as non-root). The files in question I believe are within
my gallery (gallery.sf.net) install, which has a setup dir
d--------- 2 alan website 4096 Feb 2 15:18 setup/
The error comes in between some other info when run on the local machine
(obviously detecting the error on the remote filesystem):
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Detected abilities for source (read only) file system:
Access control lists Off
Extended attributes Off
Mac OS X style resource forks Off
Mac OS X Finder information Off
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Warning: ownership cannot be changed on filesystem at backups/arcterex.net/rdiff-backup-data
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Detected abilities for destination (read/write) file system:
Characters needing quoting ''
Ownership changing Off
Hard linking On
fsync() directories On
Directory inc permissions On
Access control lists Off
Extended attributes Off
Mac OS X style resource forks Off
Mac OS X Finder information Off
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The backups *seem* to be ok, they verify ok, though that same error pops
up, and the gallery and gallery/setup directory with the odd permissions
doesn't seem to exist in the rdiff-backup-data dir.
Any ideas?
