I'm not sure, why don't you add an endless loop, like

        while 1: pass

right before subdir.delete() in fs_abilities.py.  Remember to intent
it just like the subdir.delete() line (in python, whitespace is
significant).

Then run rdiff-backup again, and when it loops, find that
rdiff-backup.tmp.0 directory and try to remove it.  You should get
that same error.  Tell me which file(s) cause problems, and what's in
those files.
