[rdiff-backup-users] AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'error_check_Main'

[Felix Matschke]

Dear all,

I would like to start rdiff-backup on my small debian/Mac OS X  
network (until now I used plain rsync). I installed rdiff-backup  
version 1.1.5 on both systems and there seems to be no problem (on  
debian via apt-get and on OS X Tiger via darwinports). From my OS X  
machine I can issue a command like

rdiff-backup address@hidden::/Users/me /home/me/Backup/me

without any problems. But I would like to use it as a cron job on the  
debian-server. Rsync worked just fine with a batch file like

        unset SSH_AUTH_SOCK
        eval `ssh-agent`
        ssh-add /home/me/.ssh/rsyncMe
        /usr/bin/rsync -avz address@hidden:/Users/me /home/me/Backup

but the seemingly equivalent batch file

        unset SSH_AUTH_SOCK
        eval `ssh-agent`
        ssh-add /home/me/.ssh/rsyncMe
        rdiff-backup address@hidden::/Users/me /home/me/Backup/me

gives me the following error message:

        Agent pid 8100
        Identity added: /home/me/.ssh/rsyncMe (/home/me/.ssh/rsyncMe)
        Traceback (most recent call last):
          File "/usr/bin/rdiff-backup", line 23, in ?
            rdiff_backup.Main.error_check_Main(sys.argv[1:])
        AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'error_check_Main'
	Fatal Error: Truncated header string (problem probably originated  
remotely)

        Couldn't start up the remote connection by executing
        
            ssh -C address@hidden rdiff-backup --server
        
        Remember that, under the default settings, rdiff-backup must be
        installed in the PATH on the remote system.  See the man page for more
        information on this.  This message may also be displayed if the remote
	version of rdiff-backup is quite different from the local version  
(1.1.5).

Issuing

            ssh -C address@hidden rdiff-backup --server

results in the same error message.

Did anybody experience the same error message?
