[rdiff-backup-users] Help with UpdateError

[Matthew Thompson]

Folks, I'm hoping I can get help with this as I'm not exactly sure how 
to fix the problem.  Namely, I run a backup script that has in it this 
excerpt:

###########################################
## etc Directory ##########################
###########################################
ARCHIVEROOT=/media/LaCie/LinuxBack ;
SOURCEDIR=/etc/ ;
ARCHIVENAME=oxygen-etc-rdiff-backup ;
rdiff-backup \
    -v4 \
    --print-statistics \
    --exclude-sockets \
    --exclude $SOURCEDIR".Trash/" \
    $SOURCEDIR $ARCHIVEROOT/$ARCHIVENAME ;
rdiff-backup --print-statistics --force --remove-older-than 4W 
$ARCHIVEROOT/$ARCHIVENAME

I have other bits in this script that work, so I'm pretty sure this is 
fine.  But, when run I get:

Starting increment operation /etc to 
/media/LaCie/LinuxBack/oxygen-etc-rdiff-backup

As I said above, I'm not sure how to resolve these errors and so I ask you.

Thank you for any help,
Matt Thompson
