Starting restore of /Volumes/Backup320/var/mysql to /tempp/mysql as it
was as of Wed Aug 13 02:04:41 2008.
Processing changed file .

$ ls -1a /tempp/

Well that certainly seems strange.
What happens if you do '-r 0B' (meaning, restore the current backup),
which should be the same as '-r now'? If those work, then the problem
is with your increments and you should do:
sudo rdiff-backup --list-increments /Volumes/Backup320/
If those do not work, then you should look at the permissions on /
Volumes/Backup320/ or try with a higher verbosity, '-v 8'.
Also, what command line are you using to run rdiff-backup?
Does it have to do with those ACL errors/warnings? Let me know if I
should try something else. Also, does -r 3D mean _exactly_ 3 days ago
from the second/minute/hour you run rdiff-backup? or does it mean the
closest backup that ran 3 days ago?
No, the ACL errors/warnings do not affect this. '-r 3D' means, if I
recall correctly, "restore how the directory looked exactly three days
ago from right now". See the 'RESTORING' section of the man page for
exact details.

Also, since you have a /Volumes folder, I assume you are using a Mac.
Did you uncheck the 'Ignore Permissions on this Volume' option in the
Finder? (Select the Backup320 volume, then go to File -> Get Info)
