This looks like a librsync problem.  (When backing up initially,
rdiff-backup doesn't use librsync, just when updating.)  Make sure you
are running the latest version of librsync.  You can test it in
isolation by running "rdiff" (an binary included in librsync) in a
sig/diff/patch cycle.

Check also the librsync mailing lists; there has been much discussion
there of largefile issues.
