I have tested this exact command again with 1.1.11. The command works for me.

This works for me when run as root (which is the necessary setup in this case). Waiting on mailing list for response from user.

I'm getting the following error when trying to backup my laptop (Mac OSX) to my server (RHEL4) when running rdiff-backup v1.1.5 on both sides:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/sw/bin/rdiff-backup", line 23, in ?
rdiff_backup.Main.error_check_Main(sys.argv[1:])
File "/sw/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 295, in error_check_Main

if isinstance(result, Exception): raise result
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/mnt/backup/ibookbackups/private/var/db/Spotlight-V100/%2FVolumes%2Fftpmirror.sectoor.de'

I've tried running rdiff-backup --check-destination-dir on the backup directory to no avail.

Here are the permissions on the file that seems to be causing the problem:

The permissions on the backup side don't look problematic:

drwx------ 2 corey corey 4096 Jun 27 2006 %2FVolumes%2Fftpmirror.sectoor.de

On my laptop the permissions look slightly different:

drw------- 2 root wheel 68 Jun 27 2006 %2FVolumes%2Fftpmirror.sectoor.de

Hopefully someone can offer a fix. As it stands I'm unable to use rdiff-backup.

Thanks,
Corey
