And did you do the --restrict-read-only options that Dean suggests
in his HOWTO?
Yes, .ssh/authorized_keys contains
command="rdiff-backup --server --restrict-read-
only /",from="gatefmtc-new",no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-
pty ssh-rsa ....
Well, there you have it. :-)
In this command, you told rdiff-backup that / is *read-only* ... when
you tried to restore, then it rejects it since restoring requires
writing. Simply remove that option and you'll be fine. Dean mentions
in a few places that if you setup exactly as he did, then rdiff-backup
will be restricted to read-only on the server.
I bet that was the problem in last year's thread, too ... since he was
able to restore locally, which wouldn't have gone through ssh in that
direction.
