What about having an option in rdiff-backup which defines
which user.group the files should be saved as, independed
from the --windows-mode. This would tackle the 'mounted-as'-
problem, not only the ntfs-partition (is this really safe yet?)
but any where the ownership is not truly supported (smbfs,
vfat, etc...).
Just my 0.02 cents,
Poltsi
