I wasn't having much luck with this so I thought I'd focus on the new
files search. I have the following line in one of my stats files.

opt/samba/m/ATX/2011/Years/2011/Support201304030936.log 1 13848 NA 0

when I run 
zgrep -e ' 1 [0-9]+ NA 0$' rdiff-backup-data/blah_blah.gz 

I get no output.  Seems like it should work.  I don't know reg exp at
all.

thanks,
