RE: [rdiff-backup-users] Metadata exists but no associated files

[Matej Pfajfar]

Hi,

OK the reason csh wasn't copied is because the copy operation
encountered an 'Operation not permitted exception'.
/bin/csh is actually a symlink to /bin/tcsh, but tcsh+s permissions are
OK, i.e. Root should be able to copy it.

Is it because csh is a symlink that there is a problem?

I've attached the rdiff-backup log to this message. Search for csh ...

Nope, csh isn't there. I'll try and find out why it didn't go through.
/mnt/backups_mp/system is an smbfs partition (in reality it's a remote
NTFS).

Well, check out /mnt/backups_mp/system/bin.  Does it contain 'csh'? If
not, then for some reason the initial backup just skipped this file (a
more serious problem than the incremental backup failing).  BTW, what
kind of filesystem is /mnt/backup_mp/system?
