I'll take a shot at 1) and 2); maybe someone else can figure out your
ssh issues.

1)  If you want rdiff-backup to preserve ownership, you need to run it
    as root on the destination system (10.1.1.3).  (However, whether
    you run as root or not, if you restore as root, ownership will be
    preserved.)

2)  The default is to do an incremental backup.  To get a daily
    incremental backup, run it daily.
