That's probably not the problem, but it can be turned off
(--no-compression-regexp '.*').  There are two separate kinds of diffs
used by rdiff-backup.  The first are the reverse diffs that are
written to the increments directory.  They never travel through ssh.
The second are forwards diffs used to update the old mirror files on
the destination directory.  These only get compressed by ssh (or not
at all, if --ssh-no-compressed in used).
