[rdiff-backup-users] trouble restoring

[Dave Kempe]

Hi,
I am having some trouble restoring a file for a client.
When I do this:
rdiff-backup -l acctdata/Company\ Policy\ and\ Procedures/SOP\
Templates/

I get:
Found 9 increments:
    SOP Templates.2003-02-21T00:00:12+11:00.missing   Fri Feb 21

However when I run:
rdiff-backup -r 2003-03-11 acctdata/Company\ Policy\ and\
Procedures/SOP\ Templates/ /var/backupdisk/restores/cookieman

it does this:
Traceback (most recent call last):

This doesn't seem to make sense to me - can't i restore a whole
directory?
Are the spaces breaking the restore?
The files look like they are there, in the SOP Templates directory -
whats the best way to get them out?

thanks
