Thanks for doing the update David. I upgraded to rdiff-backup-2.0.0-1

I've fixed this and uploaded 2.0.0-2 with the fix. Please test.
BTW, I was playing around with rdiff-backup 1.2.8-6 a couple days ago,
and while it seemed to work fine when the destination was on a local
drive, I couldn't figure out how to get it to work when the destination
is a network share If I specify the destination as
'//192.168.1.250/finance-backup/finance.rdiff-backup' I get:
Fatal Error: Unable to create directory
/192.168.1.250/finance-backup/finance.rdiff-backup
but "mkdir //192.168.1.250/finance-backup/finance.rdiff-backup" works fine.
I'm don't have time to investigate this. If you think it's a bug and
have a patch you'd like me to include in the package, please let me know.
Would you have any suggestions about how to put the output on a network
share?
You could try mounting the network share to a local patch using /etc/fstab.
Also, if you don't use rdiff-backup any more, have you found something
you like better?
I don't remember why I stopped using it. It was a long time ago. I think
I just use rsync now.
