OK, so according to Andrew, rdiff-backup can not follow symlinks.

Therefore, I changed the code the bit in order to circumvent the use of 
symlinks:

  rdiff-backup   \
    --include '/usr/www/users/bendoo/hp*' \
    --exclude '/usr/www/users/bendoo' \
    address@hidden::/usr/www/users/bendoo \
     /root/backup/bendoo/web

My webroot is in:
/usr/www/users/bendoo/

However, now rdiff complains that it does not have permissions in:
/usr/www/users

I do not understand this because I set "/usr/www/users/bendoo" as a 
base-directory where I DO have permissions.

Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance!
