two minor problems

[Chris Dumont]

Hi,

First of all let me say that I'm quite looking forward to using 
rdiff-backup. It's just what I was looking for. While I have the 
opportunity I would also like to vote for an encryption option.

Anyway, the first problem is that the "--verbosity" (as opposed to "-v") 
doesn't seem to work. See the typescript below. Secondly, wildcard 
expansion in the "--include" option produces errors when more than one 
file matches.

I looked in the archives and hadn't noticed either of these problems. 
I'm using rdiff-backup 0.8 from the Debian rdiff-backup package version 
0.8.0-1.

Thanks,
Chris Dumont
