Hi Hew,

What do you mean by "the same thing happens when running rdiff-backup as a user on a root backup" ? Do you get a traceback, or a human-readable error message?

Obviously, there's nothing that can be done other than printing an error message -- a regular user can't do anything about files owned by root. :-)
