i put together some installer type packages based on 0.13.4 at:
http://sol1.net/~dave/backups/

in particular here:
http://solutionsfirst.com.au/~dave/backup/rdiff-backup0.13.4w3.exe

I got something about that.
I thought it was just easier to use plink.
you can see its in the installer package and specified with --remote-schema

--windows-mode doesn't exist in the 13 series I don't think. might be wrong.
I have't tried --chars-to-quote ':' I might.
I can do backups from windows to linux fine with my packages.
you need to be running 0.13.4 or 0.13.3 on the server however.
I just can't do a --compare or a --restore back to windows.
I basically can't do anything that requires writing to a windows 
directory - maybe --chars-to-quote will fix that problem. we didn't care 
inthe end cos restores from linux are easy enough - and we wrote a web 
interface for general restores.... (its nearly available for sale btw - 
my client is getting there slowly)
