Ok, it seems like a backup on Ubuntu can be restored on both Ubuntu and
OpenSuse (they're not finished yet, it is the 2.5GB workload, but the  
went
way past the stack trace point and are both happily downloading).

Now, unless you have other ideas, it seems to me it is time for me to  
look
at other dependencies (librsync and others) and see if thee're  
differences.

librsync is version 0.9.7 and the dependent libbz2 is 1.05. Same on  
both machines.
I'll try to recompile the two libraries from pristine sources, as  
openSuse has
a less than perfect track record in their modifications.

If it was a wrong fix on OpenSuse's librsync or libbz2 (are there  
other dependencies
when dealing with the boto backend?), it would explain why certain  
things can be
compressed and decompressed on Suse but nowhere else.
But it wouldn't explain while getting the files w/ s3cmd and  
restoring from that fileset
fails on both systems (are the files backend specific?). So I don't  
have huge hopes for
this test, still it is worthwhile to do. And I have no better ideas.

Can you think of anything else for me to try?

Thanks,
