[rdiff-backup-users] Mac OS X 10.4 rdiff-backup woes

[Yannick Wurm]

Hi list,

has anyone succesfully used rdiff on Mac OS X Tiger? 

I installed rdiff-backup 0.13.6 via 'fink install rdiff-backup'. Despite installation going well, I always get errors, as shown below (running rdiff with sudo gives the same result). 

I would be very grateful for any piece of advice.

Thanks,

yannick
