I use 0.13.6 for tiger clients. Note that this version, rdiff-backup
backs up fine, but restores have to go to a non-tiger machine. I've not
tested more recent (1.0.x) versions yet to see if restore to tiger
works.

For our environment we're only interested in resource forks (which
rdiff-backup supports in a rudimentary way) but not ACL's or EA's. (I
actually didn't know osx supported either of these.)
