[rdiff-backup-users] authorization problem with rdiff

[Kinsoa]

Hi Rdiff's Users,

i perform all backups on "backup_server::/big_disc", and mount this 
directory read-only on all computer under "/backup".

so, i thought, all user could recover their files themself.

It doesn't work, I got the following error :

address@hidden cd /backup/my/home
address@hidden rdiff-backup -r 3D . ~/old_version
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/usr/bin/rdiff-backup", line 24, in ?

line 463, in __init__
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/backup/my/home/.'

I don't know why, i (the user) have the read permissions on the backup 
dir (it's by me...)

Do you have an idea what's happend here ?


thanks,
philippe.
