Details:

I've been running rdiff-backup over an ssh connection of other hosts for quite
some time, in a nightly cron task.  All of a sudden, about a week or so ago,
my rdiff-backup commands started failing as follows:

$ rdiff-backup --check-destination-dir --include /home --include /var
--include /etc --include /root --include /usr/local --exclude /usr/local/tmp
--exclude / fly-backup:://backup/fly
Fatal Error: Wrong number of arguments given.
See the rdiff-backup manual page for more information.

Any idea what's going on? I figure there's some Fedora update (this was under
16 and now 17 as well) that broke something that rdiff-backup uses.  Pretty
serious problem since I use rdiff-backup to back up my servers!

Thanks in advance!
