Hi Alastair,

I am assuming that if you run `rdiff-backup` on the machine "files" as
user ssaback it is version 1.1.14 and not 1.0.4, correct?

Here are two suggestions:

1) First try changing like 143 in connection.py ... change the word
"cPickle" to "pickle"  ... This will require adding "pickle" to the list
of imports on line 20 of connection.py.

If that doesn't work, then:

2) If you remove lines 200 and 205 ("try:" and "except IOError: raise
ConnectionWriteError()") and try again, the exception and traceback that
is generated instead should indicate exactly which line is failing for you.
