Hi Domonic,
It turns out that my ZFS filesystem doesn't allow renaming of symlinks *if* the
target *doesn't* exist. I've traced the problem to rpath.rename, when it's
trying to rename the tmp.N symlink to the real name, and the target doesn't
exist yet because it's later in the list.
Is it
Amending: turns out it's OS X that doesn't allow renaming of symlinks with
missing targets. I tested it on FreeBSD on my NAS, and it allows this, so OS X
has to be the culprit.

I run rdiff-backup on my desktop to my fileserver. I would like to move
a full-backup offsite every month or so. Instead of doing this directly
from my desktop, it would be nice to do this from the fileserver that
contains the rdiff-backup files, but I don't want the increments to be
part of this.
