Hi Marcel,

Something has changed in your login shell on the remote server. It is  
printing some text before rdiff-backup executes.

The next version of rdiff-backup has support for catching this error  
case and giving the user a more informative error message:

Please make sure that nothing is printed (e.g., by your login shell)  
when this
command executes. Try running this command:

   rdiff-backup --test-server address@hidden::/path
