I have found a problem with some file names using .13.3. These are 
backed up from a mounted ntfs filesystem using smbfs in kernel 2.4.25.
i might be able to fix it by specifiying a different code page format.

as for you,
can you first start with a fresh rdiff-backup-data dir, then try and 
replicate the problem - does it still happen then if you backup that 
particular dir? try exclude that dir from the source and see if its a 
similar problem to what I had, maybe we can narrow it down.
