I have the same problem.
I'm on python26-2.6.4 with rdiff-backup-1.2.8,1
I just did :
# rm -rf /backup/users_backup/toto/rdiff-ba*
# rdiff-backup --force /mnt/users/toto /backup/Lipn/users_backup/toto
[...]
verflowError: signed integer is greater than maximum

I'm also on a 64 bit sys : FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE AMD64
