[rdiff-backup-users] rdiff-backup stops while reading mandatory mounted dir

[Mike Constabel]

Hello,

i don't know if this is expected or so...

rdiff-back tries to backup an mountpoint with mount option "mand" and
it stops. It hangs, forever. ;)

/var/lib/havp/havp.loop on /var/spool/havp type ext3 (rw,mand,loop=/dev/loop0)

I think I should exclude this dir . However, can or should 
rdiff-backup ignore this and go over it?

Hanging around forever is imho not so god...
