Well, when the server side rdiff does not match the local version,
it bitches:

  piper:~> rdiff-backup --include /etc --exclude '/*' / [EMAIL 
PROTECTED]::/srv/backups/piper
  Warning: Local version 1.1.9 does not match remote version 1.1.5.

it then works. My assumption is simply that since rdiff-backup
itself does a version comparison and should know better which
versions are compatible with each other, adding a 1:1 requirement to
backupninja may be more limiting than necessary.

In this very instance, it disables me from tightening the
password-less login for the backup user via authorized_keys.
