[rdiff-backup-users] rdiff-backup failure

[Thomas S. Dixon]

Good afternoon,
Out of nowhere, our rdiff-backup started failing. This backup is running 
locally, so no network is involved. The command used to invoke the 
backup is: rdiff-backup -v 7 --exclude /dev --exclude /proc --exclude 
/backup / /backup/moria. Below is a snippet of some output with 
verbosity turned up to 7. Any thoughts or suggestions very much appreciated.
