Hmm, can you run --check-destination-dir and tell me where it fails?
I thought that checking the destination dir wouldn't consume more disk
space, only free it.

You can also remove the older increments "manually" by finding the
timestring of the last increment set, say 2003-03-22T04:22:02+07:00,
and then deleting all the files that end in that, as in:

find <dir>/rdiff-backup-data -name '*2003-03-22T04:22:02+07:00*' | xargs rm

I haven't checked the above, but you get the idea.  Put please try
--check-destination-dir and send me the output and traceback before
you solve your problem.
