Hi,
I am getting a crash from backing up an smbfs mounted filesystem to an

Hi Ben,
So anyway, I'm curious when/how the long-path-problem is coming up. I
wish rdiff-backup could successfully mirror all the files in this
case, but don't see a way of doing this that's not error-prone.

Hi Ben,
The path got to nearly 8000 characters long, and although cd was giving
warnings about "getcwd: path name too long", it was still going when I
