Ok, this one is bizzare! I upgraded all my boxes to 0.6.0-1 and got the 
following. However running rdiff-backup -V on the local box gave me the 
correct version info, but on the remote box I got the same message as 
below up to the Traceback part.

What's up with that? Ideas?

[root@radiantheart /root]# rdiff-backup --change-source-perms 
root@myserver.org::/ root@xx.xx.xx.xx::/orgtest
root@myserver.org's password:
  File "/usr/bin/rdiff-backup", line 232
