[rdiff-backup-users] fatal error in version 1.1.5

[Iain Dooley]

hi, i installed rdiff-backup-devel port on freebsd 6.1

i installed it because this version supports the --preserve-numerical-ids 
switch.

i'm confused first because the man page for 1.0.4 says that it stores file 
meta data in a seperate file so it seems that there should be no need for 
--preserve-numerical-ids, but when i did a restore with 1.0.4 it restored 
the file with the uid/gid of the user i was using for the  restore. 
perhaps i msised something, but based on the man page for 1.0.4 i had 
expected it to restore with the correct uid/gid.

anyway, so running my first backup with version 1.1.5 i get this error:
