Rdiff-backup's cousin Duplicity has S3 support. Depending on which  
features of rdiff-backup you use, Greg, it may or may not work for you:
http://duplicity.nongnu.org/features.html


I have no idea how involved it would be to add S3 support (or port the  
support from Duplicity), but patches are welcome and I can try to  
answer questions.
