[rdiff-backup-users] No Longer Backing A Directory Up

[Mike Bydalek]

Hello.

I'm currently backing up several servers using the following command:

/usr/bin/rdiff-backup --create-full-path --print-statistics --include
/mnt/sxbackup --include /home --include /var/www --include /etc
--exclude / / backup-server::server-root/

The problem is, /mnt/sxbackup had a /temp subdirectory that I didn't
want it backing up.  So I have my script delete the /mnt/sxbackup/temp
subdirectory and then run a backup.  What happened with this is that now
I get the following errors when trying to run a backup:

Warning: expected server-root/mnt/sxbackup/temp to be a directory but
found None instead.
This is probably caused by a bug in versions 1.0.0 and earlier.
Traceback (most recent call last):

line 367, in reval
    if isinstance(result, Exception): raise result
KeyError: ('mnt', 'sxbackup', 'temp')

I also tried to delete the server-root/mnt/sxbackup/temp on the
backup-server without any avail.

Any ideas as to how I can go about fixing this?

Thanks!
