strace follows a program and tracks down system calls etc. Its sometimes
useful, though generates a massive output for most things. If its
install simply doing 'strace command' will give you an idea.

Anyway, its probably not going to help you that much - its output is
pretty confusing.

can you try backing up to and from the same filesystem - ie try
rdiff-backup -v7 /home /tmp/home-backup
