problem with rdiff-backup-0.5.1

[Alberto Accomazzi]

Hi Ben,

I'm back trying to use rdiff-backup after a hyatus of a few months
spent on other little projects, and was happy to see a much improved
version around.

I call the script as user ads_back with the following options:
   rdiff-backup /proj/ads/soft /proj/ads-md3/backups/proj/ads/soft
and the script crashes after it copies over files in the first directory.
>From the traceback, it looks to me like it's trying to modify the 
access time of the original directory.  Why is that and can I do
anything to avoid the problem?

Thanks,

-- Alberto


P.S. I'm not subscribing to the list so far, so please reply directly
     to me.
