Python 2.2 does not support the lchown() system call. I think version
2.3 does support it (2.4.3 is the latest). Perhaps you can find a more
recent version of Python for your distribution? There have been some
security fixes since 2.2.2 anyway.
Without the lchown() system call support, rdiff-backup cannot change the
owner of the symlinks upon restore. So what you see is (unfortunately)
expected.
