Yes, the last mirror_metadata file is from 2007-08-09. I would remove
the files:

current_mirror.2007-08-11T02:01:58-04:00.data
increments.2007-08-10T03:40:36-04:00.dir

and create a file named:

current_mirror.2007-08-09T01:59:28-04:00.data

Then run rdiff-backup again. If it completes successfully, then run
rdiff-backup --list-increments to see if it still shows something sane.
