Now, I'm having the same problem on a different backup; source and
target are on the same ext4 filesystem (which may seem kinda stupid, but
the source is a mirror of the data I want to backup).

It looks like the assertion
    assert not incrp.lstat(), incrp
throws an exception unless incrp.data['type'] doesn't equal None, in
other words, if the file exists.

I attached the complete output.

Kind regards,

Tobias
