Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Missing files after rdiff-backup

[Wolfe Maykut]

        So, I've tried to run rdiff-backup again.  This time it
errored out, mentioning that:

Warning, metadata file has entry for acedump/2003-06-09-02:00/current_auth,
but there are no associated files.
[lots of these]

        Finally it tracebacks and dumps without running.  [traceback
below].

        My questions:

1)  Why do some files have metadata but were not copied?
2)  How can I get rdiff-backup to run again?
3)  (unrelated) I have a host of these errors when I run:

UpdateError analysis/mathmod/intdata/R/paramecium/lme/weight/weight.r File 
changed from regular file before signature

...even though the timestamp on this file hasn't changed since a week
before rdiff-backup was run.

        Any ideas?

        Thanks muchly,

                --Wolfe
