Strange problem with backup to an AFS volume

Post Strange problem with backup to an AFS volume 
Hello,

I have a problem backing up my home directory to an AFS volume. The
problem appears when backing up the ~/.ddd directory (among others),
which looks very innocent:

florenz < at > gilgalad:~/.ddd$ ls -al *
-rw-r--r-- 1 florenz florenz 187 2008-11-04 15:48 history
-rw-r--r-- 1 florenz florenz 4312 2008-11-04 15:48 init
-rw-r--r-- 1 florenz florenz 25675 2008-11-04 15:48 log
-rw-r--r-- 1 florenz florenz 40 2008-11-04 14:34 tips

sessions:
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 florenz florenz 4096 2008-11-04 15:48 .
drwx------ 4 florenz florenz 4096 2008-11-04 15:48 ..

drwxr-xr-x 2 florenz florenz 4096 2008-11-04 14:32 .
drwx------ 4 florenz florenz 4096 2008-11-04 15:48 ..


Running rdiff-backup with

$ rdiff-backup -v10
--no-hard-links /home/florenz/.ddd /afs/tu-berlin.de/<..>/florenz/dot.ddd5

works fine but

$ rdiff-backup -l /afs/tu-berlin.de/<..>/florenz/dot.ddd5

strangely gives:

Fatal Error: Bad directory /afs/tu-berlin.de/<..>/florenz/dot.ddd5.
It doesn't appear to be an rdiff-backup destination dir

The content of the destination directory is:

florenz < at > gilgalad:..florenz/dot.ddd5$ ls -al *
-rw-r--r-- 1 123707 florenz 187 2008-11-04 15:48 history

The rdiff-log is attached to this mail.

I experience the problem with v1.2.8 and v1.3.3. The problem does not
appear when I back up to my local disc (ext3fs).

Any help is very much appreciated, if further information is necessary
to trace the problem, I will try to give it.

Best regards,

Florian
