This situation needs an additional path workaround, see here for details:
http://wiki.rdiff-backup.org/wiki/index.php/BackupToFromWindowsToLinux#Path_Workarounds

I added this workaround in svn.

I'm using JBackpack 0.9 on Windows Xp. I'm trying to use "C:\" as my source directory and "E:\Backup" as my destination directory.
If I try to do a backup then I get the following error;

Exception 'Unexpected end to file description c:\' raised of class '<class 'rdiff_backup.SetConnections.SetConnectionsException'>':
File "rdiff_backup\Main.pyc", line 306, in error_check_Main
File "rdiff_backup\Main.pyc", line 321, in Main
File "rdiff_backup\SetConnections.pyc", line 59, in get_cmd_pairs
File "rdiff_backup\SetConnections.pyc", line 107, in parse_file_desc
File "rdiff_backup\SetConnections.pyc", line 98, in check_len

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "rdiff-backup", line 30, in <module>
File "rdiff_backup\Main.pyc", line 306, in error_check_Main
File "rdiff_backup\Main.pyc", line 321, in Main

File "rdiff_backup\SetConnections.pyc", line 98, in check_len
rdiff_backup.SetConnections.SetConnectionsException: Unexpected end to file description c:\

I've managed to get it to work by using "C:\." (notice the full stop after the slash).
If this is then intended behavior then the documentation should be updated to include this information.
