Comment 5 for bug 292586

I just meant that I reported the problem occurring with rdiff-backup-statistics, but it also happens with rdiff-backup itself, that's all. It occurs with rdiff-backup when adding an increment as a user, when the backup (and hence the files) were previously done as root. It also occurs when running rdiff-backup-statistics as a user on the backup done as root, as I originally reported. They are very similar issues, if not the same.

I understand that the solution is to print an error message, this is ideal compared to the crash :-)

I have attached the output of each command, which includes the traceback. This is when using 1.1.16-2.
