Yes, rdiff-backup is meant to only require python 2.2.  If you avoided
backing up device files (--exclude-device-files) you wouldn't get the
error you got, so that may be an easy workaround.

I'll look at it in a bit, maybe I can just take the os.mknod code out
of python 2.4 and stick it in rdiff-backup.
