[rdiff-backup-users] MacOS X problems

[Scott Bender]

I'm having problems doing backups to a MacOS X machine. I've using 
--chars-to-quote  A-Z, but it looks like rdiff-backup is having 
problems when the directory name has a capital letter in it:

Error '[Errno 2] No such file or directory' processing 
var/spool/imap/m/user/matt/IT Director/1205.
Skipping var/spool/imap/m/user/matt/IT Director/1205. because of 
previous error
Exception '[Errno 2] No such file or directory' raised of class 
'exceptions.OSError':
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/robust.py", line 
76, in execute
    init_val = self.init_thunk()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/rorpiter.py", 
line 242, in init
    def init(): Hardlink.link_rp(diff_rorp, tf, basisrp)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Hardlink.py", 
line 144, in link_rp
    dest_rpath.hardlink(dest_link_rpath.path)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/rpath.py", line 
608, in hardlink
    self.conn.os.link(linkpath, self.path)

Exception '[Errno 2] No such file or directory' raised of class 
'exceptions.OSError':
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/robust.py", line 
254, in check_common_error
    try: return function(*args)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/increment.py", 
line 295, in start_process
    RORPIter.patchonce_action(None, mirror_dsrp, diff_rorp).execute()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/robust.py", line 
84, in execute
    raise exc


So it looks like it's trying to write to var/spool/imap/m/user/matt/IT 
Director/1205. , but the directory name is actually 
var/spool/imap/m/user/matt/;073;084 ;068irector because of the quoting.

thanks,
