Does it happen regularly? How are you mounting the windows directory? What does "ls -l" say about the file? Are the permissions different to other files? The python stat module doesn't think it's a normal file, or the rpath code is doing something funny.
If you can't work it out. You could try running a script like this. It will tell you if stat thinks it's a file, and what the mode is compared to the mode of a normal file. 

#!/usr/bin/python2.3
import os,stat
filename = '/tmp/blah.py'
mode = os.lstat(filename)[stat.ST_MODE]
print stat.S_ISREG(mode)
print stat.S_IFMT(mode), stat.S_IFREG

I'm getting a C.UnknownFileTypeError when running rdiff-backup 0.13.4. Any help appreciated:
