[rdiff-backup-users] metadata file not found??

[Jorge Luis Williams]

I'm using rdiff backup to backup my home directory from an OpenBSD 
system running on an x86 to an OpenBSD system running on a 64 bit spark 
machine.  I'm using OpenBSD 3.3 on both systems. The initial backup 
works fine but when I run rdiff-backup again I get a metadata file not 
found warning followed by an IO error.

I get the same results on versions 0.12.6 and 0.13.3.

Any idea's what's going on?

Thanx,
