[rdiff-backup-users] unusual error using 1.2.0

[John covici]

Hi.  I am getting an error 

when doing a backup.  
NameError: global name 'first_index' is not defined

I actually  get it twice -- here is the history:

NameError: global name 'first_index' is not defined
Now I wonder if this is a file corruption error on some source
directory, as I had before, or something else?  If its a file
corruption error, any way to tell which directory its on?

Thanks.
