That's being controlled by the process umask. Rdiff-backup sets its  
umask to 077 in Main.py in the misc_setup function.

If you want to only adjust the permissions on the rdiff-backup-data  
and increments directories, then look to Main.py::backup_set_rbdir()  
for rdiff-backup-data (change the one-line "if not  
Globals.rbdir.lstat(): Globals.rbdir.mkdir()" to a multi-line if-block  
and add a "Globals.rbdir.chmod(...)" after the mkdir) and  
Main.py::backup_final_init() for increments (again, change the one  
line "if not incdir.lstat(): incdir.mkdir()" to a multi-line and add a  
chmod).
