Those EA/ACL messages are a normal part of rdiff-backup's
initialization for 0.13.x; it is just trying to figure out what
capabilities your system has.  Are you sure the last backup was
successful?  rdiff-backup seems to think the last backup failed.  If
you 'ls /mnt/syncback/laser/rdiff-backup-data/current_mirror*' you can
see what the last successful and failed backups are.

Also you should upgrade to 0.13.3 and/or 0.12.5.
