Jeremy,
The Finder color label information works just fine for me. What version
of Mac OS X are you using? 10.4 is the first one that supported extended
attributes. Before 10.3, color labels might have been stored in some
other manner.
Also, try creating a test folder with a single file and giving it a
color label. Then backup the folder with rdiff-backup but use "-v8" or
"-v9" as an option to increase the logging. Send us the log file if the
color label is not backed-up and maybe we can see what's wrong.
Best,
Andrew
