[rdiff-backup-users] Help - rdiff-backup removing permision on target folder

[bt101]

Yes, the OS of the central backup server is Ubuntu 10.04.

For the error messages...
There is no error message generated for the first run.  It runs all the way 
through the backup with no error message.

For the second run, I have posted the complete output of verbosity=5 below.  I 
could be completely wrong but I don't there is any information in the output 
that can help though.  The really relevant part is that rdiff-backup is 
slitting its own throat by removing permissions on that target folder.  If 
anybody has any idea why it would be touching that folder (aside from putting 
the backup in it), then let me know.

Just for clarity, the root of the target folder is:
/mnt/usb1/backup/rdiffbackup/win7_c_home

Here is the output from the second run:
