Details:

Hi, I get this problem when the rdiff-backup (1.2.5) server has
--restrict-read-only, and I run a --list-increments on it from a (1.2.8)
client.

It bails out with this error:

Bad request for function: fs_abilities.single_set_globals
with arguments: [<rdiff_backup.rpath.RPath instance at 0x14b21b8>, 1]
' raised of class '<class 'rdiff_backup.Security.Violation'>':
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 304, in
error_check_Main
    try: Main(arglist)
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 324, in
Main
    take_action(rps)
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 286, in
take_action
    elif action == "list-increments": ListIncrements(rps[0])
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 697, in
ListIncrements
    rp = require_root_set(rp, 1)
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 719, in
require_root_set
    read_only)
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/rdiff_backup/connection.py", line
450, in __call__
    return apply(self.connection.reval, (self.name,) + args)
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/rdiff_backup/connection.py", line
370, in reval
    if isinstance(result, Exception): raise result

I have looked at the source, and found that if I added
fs_abilities.single_set_globals to the read-only ACL, the --list-increments
works. I'm not sure if this is the best way to be fixing things, so I'm filing
this bug for you to have a look :)

regards,
wK
