[rdiff-backup-users] Native version on Windows 2000

[Brendan Grossman]

Hi all

Just wondering if anyone is running the native Windows version on
Windows 2000 successfully?

I am having this same problem on all my Windows 2000 servers. The data
is copied, but then it exits with the following:

Thu Sep 18 11:06:33 2008  Exception '(1336,
'ConvertSecurityDescriptorToStringSecurityDescriptor', 'The access
control list (ACL) structure is invalid.')' raised of class '<class
'pywintypes.error'>':

pywintypes.error: (1336,
'ConvertSecurityDescriptorToStringSecurityDescriptor', 'The access

If I map the share from say a Windows 2003 server, it doesn't have any problems.

Any ideas on how to get this working on 2000?
