Hi Ben and all,
I've recently started to get this error for no apparent reason (as far as
I can see nothing has changed). It happens when backing up a Fedora Core 1
box (phpeace) onto a Gentoo box (top). Both run rdiff-backup 1.0.0.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
top root # rdiff-backup --force --exclude '/proc'
--exclude '/var/spool/exim' root < at > phpeace.qwarx::/
/mnt/backup/phpeace-rdiff/
Traceback (most recent call last):

ValueError: bad marshal data
Fatal Error: Truncated header string (problem probably originated
remotely)
Couldn't start up the remote connection by executing
ssh -C root < at > phpeace.qwarx rdiff-backup --server
Remember that, under the default settings, rdiff-backup must be
installed in the PATH on the remote system. See the man page for more
information on this. This message may also be displayed if the remote
version of rdiff-backup is quite different from the local version (1.0.0).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
But I can run the ssh command just fine:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
top root # ssh -C root < at > phpeace.qwarx -v rdiff-backup --server
OpenSSH_3.9p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004
[...]

debug1: channel 0: new [client-session]
debug1: Entering interactive session.
debug1: Sending command: rdiff-backup --server
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
And if I enter some junk data into this session n, the remote
rdiff-backup throws an exception:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm completely stumped. Any ideas, anyone?
Cheers, Chris.
