[rdiff-backup-users] How to exclude dirs from basedir with "permission denied"?

[Bert Hiddink]

Hello!


When I do:

rdiff-backup address@hidden::/usr/www/users/bendoo/ 
/root/backup/bendoo-test
...I get a the following error from the remote system:

Exception '[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/www/users'' raised of 
class 'exceptions.OSError':

Althoug I do not have permissions in "/usr/www/users/", I do have in 
"/usr/www/users/bendoo/" (this is my webroot).

I do not understand why rdiff complains about permissions while I only 
want to back-up "/usr/www/users/bendoo/" and not the higher-level 
directories?

Any ideas? How could I resolve this?

I played with --exclude switches but this did not help.

Many thanks in advance!

Best regards,
