Are their any increments corresponding to the 1:45:03 or 3:00:04
times?  Also is the latest mirror_metadata (from 1:30 apparently)
uncorrupted/untruncated?

I think we just need to find manually the last session that completed.
Then we can tell rdiff-backup to regress to that.

Actually I just used rdiff-backup to convert those strings for me.
Since you are correct, there is is a bug in the way it converts the
time strings to seconds (looks like I was misusing mktime(), and it
was taking the timezone into account when converting the strings).  So
anyway that explains the problem.
