not sure where that's coming from, rdiff-backup won't invoke su on its 
own.

the destination doesn't exist and you asked it to "--remove-older-than 
60D" ... i suppose we could let that slip by when the destination doesn't 
exist, but for now it errors out... so "don't do that" :)  create a backup 
first.

yeah, use --remote-schema, or use a .ssh/config entry which looks 
something like:

        host foohost-otherport
                port NNNN
                hostname foohost

then backup using foohost-otherport::/baz/bat
