Ok. Please try using 1.1.17. The 1.1.x branch has two years worth of  
Windows-specific bug fixes and corrections. If you still have problems  
with that, send in a new report.


Secondly, do NOT edit your posts in that forum. That forum is  
automatically sending each post (and each edit) as an email message to  
the actual rdiff-backup users mailing list. Each one of your edits has  
been spammed to the list, generating quite a few messages.

Frankly, it might be better if you simply subscribed to the mailing  
list like a normal user:
