[rdiff-backup-users] TypeError: unsubscriptable object (cfile['creator'])

[Ryan Tarpine]

Hello,

I just learned about and installed rdiff-backup yesterday.  I tried to 
run the command:

sudo rdiff-backup -v4 --exclude /dev --exclude /tmp --exclude /Volumes 
--exclude /.Spotlight-V100 --exclude /automount --exclude /private/tmp 
--exclude /Network --exclude /private/var/run / /Volumes/Mirror

and this is the output I received after it ran for a while (it copied 
nearly 9 GB before halting):
