I am using rdiff-backup to backup my laptop on a PowerMac running 10.3. I use the --override-chars-to-quote '' option, as suggested on fink-users a few weeks ago. It used to work fine.

I have upgraded to rdiff-backup-1.1.0-3 (10.4-transitional/unstable), and I am now getting the following message:

Fatal Error: New quoting requirements!

The quoting chars this session needs (^A-Za-z0-9_ -.) do not match
the repository settings () listed in

server.domain.edu/rdiff-backup-data/chars_to_quote

This may be caused when you copy an rdiff-backup repository from a
normal file system onto a windows one that cannot support the same
characters, or if you backup a case-sensitive file system onto a
case-insensitive one that previously only had case-insensitive ones
backed up onto it.

Do I need to remove the option ? BTW what this option does exactly ? It is not documented in rdiff-backup man page. Is it specific to MacOSX ? Maybe some UsageNotes in the Fink package would help here.
