Since 1.1.15 is installed in your user account, perhaps the environment 
necessary to access it isn't loaded when you ssh with a command (which 
doesn't run a login shell)?

Could you try creating a wrapper script on the remote side that sets 
PYTHONPATH=/home/ibsd/.../lib/python (or wherever rdiff_backup/Main.py is 
located under your home) and then runs rdiff-backup?

Cheers, Chris.
