If I remember correctly, for some reason rdiff-backup failed to copy
some files from the previous session.  The complaints about metadata
are for these missing files.

  WM> 2) How can I get rdiff-backup to run again?

The traceback you gave looks like it was from a session that was run
after the previous one failed.  How did that one fail?  I can't tell
much what is happening.  It is possible to take it at face value -
maybe a gzip CRC check failed, but that seems unlikely, or caused by a
previous problem.

Not sure.  Are these errors from the second session that failed?  How
did it fail?
