Details:

I'm getting the following error when trying to backup my laptop (Mac OSX) to
my server (RHEL4) when running rdiff-backup v1.1.5 on both sides:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/sw/bin/rdiff-backup", line 23, in ?
    rdiff_backup.Main.error_check_Main(sys.argv[1:])
  File "/sw/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 295, in
error_check_Main
    try: Main(arglist)
  File "/sw/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 315, in
Main    take_action(rps)
  File "/sw/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 271, in
take_action
    elif action == "backup": Backup(rps[0], rps[1])
  File "/sw/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 334, in

    backup.Mirror_and_increment(rpin, rpout, incdir)
  File "/sw/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff_backup/backup.py", line 51, in

    DestS.patch_and_increment(dest_rpath, source_diffiter, inc_rpath)
  File "/sw/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff_backup/connection.py", line
448, in __call__
    return apply(self.connection.reval, (self.name,) + args)
  File "/sw/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff_backup/connection.py", line
370, in reval
    if isinstance(result, Exception): raise result
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
'/mnt/backup/ibookbackups/private/var/db/Spotlight-V100/%2FVolumes%2Fftpmirror.sectoor.de'

I've tried running rdiff-backup --check-destination-dir on the backup
directory to no avail.

Here are the permissions on the file that seems to be causing the problem:

The permissions on the backup side don't look problematic:

drwx------   2 corey corey 4096 Jun 27  2006
%2FVolumes%2Fftpmirror.sectoor.de

On my laptop the permissions look slightly different:

drw-------    2 root  wheel   68 Jun 27  2006
%2FVolumes%2Fftpmirror.sectoor.de

Hopefully someone can offer a fix.  As it stands I'm unable to use
rdiff-backup.

Thanks,
Corey
