Replying out of order, but want to make sure I get you all the info you need.

How about:

$ mkdir test
$ touch test/file
$ rdiff-backup test /Volumes/mcneal/backup/test.bak

That should be the same use case as what triggered your error.

Yes, this gives the same error.

Is that different file store mounted via AFP on the same server?

I installed a clean server ( 10.4 ) and I'm seeing the same problems, so I don't think it's a configuration setting.

Maybe there are some AFP options on the server that can cause problems for
symlinks.

A test for that would be:

$ cd /Volumes/mcneal/backup/
$ touch src
$ ln -s src tgt
$ rm tgt
$ rm src

This test also give the same error. Running those commands locally on the server work fine, which would indicate some problem with AFP.
