[rdiff-backup-users] rdiff-backup error: Mac OS X -> Linux

[Yeroc]

All...

I just tried backing up my iBook (OS X v10.4.8) to a Linux (RHEL4) file
server.  Although I've done this successfully in the past this time I got
the following errors:

Fatal Error: Lost connection to the remote system

Due to the last error message I thought the backup failed due to the
connection being dropped but I re-ran the backup and this time it errored
right away with the following error:

Fatal Error: Lost connection to the remote system

So it seems the "Fatal Error: Lost connection to the remote system" message
is a bit of a red herring.  At this point I have no idea how to resolve this
issue.  

I'm running rdiff-backup v1.1.5 (the latest version available via Fink) on
both the laptop and on the Linux server.

The command line I'm using looks like this:

sudo /sw/bin/rdiff-backup $* --exclude-globbing-filelist backup-excludes.lst 
/ address@hidden::/mnt/backup/ibookbackups

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Corey
