/mnt/L_drive server side is a Windows share.
I believe the problem is due in general to the way rdiff-backup names
its files. It uses reserved characters that windows rejects, mainly the
':' character it uses in the timestamps. These files go in the
rdiff-backup-data dir. I posted what you said below along with my
/etc/fstab file.
Thanks for helping,
