I upgraded the relevant machines to v1.1.12, but still seem to be
getting the same error when I try to restore.  Backups still seem to
be operating just fine.  Again, this is what I'm seeing:

$ rdiff-backup --restore-as-of now ./some/backup remote::/some/dir/restore
Exception
Warning Security Violation!
Bad request for function: fs_abilities.restore_set_globals
with arguments: [<rdiff_backup.rpath.RPath instance at 0x404eca2c>]

Thanks,
