[rdiff-backup-users] back up to existing mirror acting strangely

[John covici]

Hi.  I am using rdiff-backup 1.2.5 which is what is on Leni to backup
to r remote site which contains an existing mirror of my local site
except for a small number of files, but the mirror is quite large.
What I am getting is  things like this in the log file:
Getting signature of
var/www/vhosts/wlym.com/web_users/australia/images/20081020_BostonUniversity.zip
with blocksize 5440

Sometimes it says getting delta and sometimes it says processing
changed file and then copying attributes, but its never copying the
files -- as it shouldn't, but whatever it thinks its doing, its taking
a very long time and I wonder what it is trying to do and if there is
any way to get it to skip all but files whose size, etc. is actually
different?

Thanks in advance for any ideas on this.
