That's just the thing, the permissions on the backup server are all set correctly. The problem isn't with permissions at all because even I login as [EMAIL PROTECTED], I still get the Security Violation error.

If you login interactively can you then exectute 'mkdir -p home/mbydalek/bleh'?

It just seems like this option is broken. If I try running rdiff-backup on my client as root and connect to the backup server as root, I get the same error.

Please try it without rdiff-backup (as above). I use this option on a number of servers every night, so whilst it may not be bug-free, it isn't completely broken.

Any other ideas for me to try? Also, where would I submit a bug report if this is a bug?

Yes: try the interactive command as the user that runs rdiff-backup on the server. If it fails then please post the full output here. Bug reports can be made at the rdiff-backup homepage, but seeing as I wrote that particular option I'm happy to discuss it here.

I'm not really familiar with Python too much, so is there a setting or something that's preventing this from running in a global config somewhere?

Unlikely.
