Hi Andrew,

Chris, rdiff-backup will adjust permissions as necessary (eg, adding 100
to Spotlight-V100 during backup), but you have to be the file's owner to
do so (or root).
Sorry for the late reply. Do you happen to know where it does that, and
since what version? I've run into this problem when backing up directories
with weird permissions using 1.0.4 and 1.0.5.
Also, rdiff-backup shouldn't need any special permissions to alter the
permissions of the directories _which it creates and owns_ in the mirror.
It just needs to be careful to ensure that they are created with sane
permissions.
Cheers, Chris.
