[rdiff-backup-users] OSError #5 on encfs reverse encrypted directories- & filenames

[Ben Tebulin]

Hi list!

I'm trying to use securely backup my data into "untrusted storage":
- rdiff-backup allows me to use a "push" approach.
- A reverse mounted encfs offers a r/o, encrypted view on my data.

Unfortunately I'm having problems to get this running:
- Plain rsync works
- rdiff-backup with "regular files" works, too.
- rdiff-backup seems to stumble over the encrypted filenames
- I'm on squeeze.
- Both source&target use rdiff-backup 1.8.2

# rdiff-backup /srv/encfs address@hidden::/share/MD0_DATA/Backups

/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/rdiff_backup/SetConnections.py:148: 
DeprecationWarning: os.popen2 is deprecated.  Use the subprocess module.
  stdin, stdout = os.popen2(remote_cmd)

  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/rdiff_backup/connection.py", line

Any hints?

Thanks!
