Hi.
I've been backing up several servers to one server for some time now without any problems. Last week I had a problem with one server where for some reason it was unable to rmdir a directory on the backup server - see the log below. The rdiff-backup version I've been using is 1.0.4 and the source server is OS X.
The way the backup is setup is that it is initiated by root on the source server and connects to the backup server with a unique account. The permissions for the entire server-root/* are owned by this unique account, so I don't see how it can be a permission problem. I've tried to delete the server-root/Library/WebServer/Documents/bookdev/vfg directory manually, but that didn't seem to make any difference.
Does anyone have any ideas what may be going on, or how I can fix this?
I'm invoking the command like so:
/usr/bin/rdiff-backup --create-full-path --print-statistics --include /var/backup --include /home --include /var/www --include /etc --include /Library --exclude / / bob::server-root/
Thanks!

Previous backup seems to have failed, regressing destination now.
