[rdiff-backup-users] os error 22 detecting file system properties on cygwin

[David Kempe]

Hi I am attempting to do a restore on a cygwin rdiff-backup install.
I am getting the fs_ablities.py failing on creating a folder.
I assume the foo file is a test of some sort, I appears to fail with OS
error 22 instead of just disabling that part of the test.
Is there some sort of patch we can try to disable this testing?
the testing is very useful, but needs this tweak for it to restore on
windows.

thanks

dave
