Backup Central

All the sudden my rdiff-backup program stopped working. I can't use it to
restore or backup! I get these crazy error messages.

I'm running fedora core 2 and using version 0.12.7 of rdiff-backup.

Any ideas on what this error means?

Thanks,
Jamie

Complete shot in the dark, but is the system time approximately correct on
both systems?
