You could be right, from the trace below it looks like some kind of
chmod problem, sorry if I was misleading.

Sure, it's a bit big so I uploaded the entire trace to
http://andrewprice.me.uk/dropoff/rdiff-backup.log.txt

The highlights are:

  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff_backup/rpath.py", line
826, in chmod
    self.conn.os.chmod(self.path, permissions & Globals.permission_mask)
OSError: [Errno 30] Read-only file system: '/media/cdrom0/home'
