[rdiff-backup-users] Exception 'RORPath instance has no attribute 'path'' raised

[Damian Montaldo]

Hi, I'm using slbackup that is a simple wrapper to rdiff-backup
(1.2.8) but I'm stuck in this error.

I found that it was reported as a bug before
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.backup.rdiff-backup.general/6316

But I can't find more useful information in google about it.
Could anybody help me?
