[rdiff-backup-users] Security Violation with --compare for FilenameMapping.set_init_quote_vals

[Jesse Reynolds]

Hello

Now I have rdiff-backup version 1.0.4 installed on two servers and  
I've successfully created a backup of /etc (local is Mac OS X 10.4.6,  
remote is Solaris 10 x86). But now when I try and do a --compare I  
get a Security Violation exception, for function  
FilenameMapping.set_init_quote_vals.

I can update the local backup copy from the remote just fine, but -- 
compare fails.

I guess this is specific to backing up to a HFS+ filesystem that is  
case insensitive. How can I get around this?

Thanks
Jesse
