  ND> Hi, rdiff-backup 0.5.4 is occasionally getting into an infinite
  ND> loop in which it repeatedly displays error messages like this:

  ND>   Warning, found unexpected inc file
  ND> /backup/rdiff-backup-data/increments/etc/ntp/drift.2002-03-08T23:43:05-04:00.diff

  ND> It also happens with .dir files.  When I delete the unexpected
  ND> file and resume rdiff-backup, it runs normally.

I'll have to look into the infinite loop, but that message usually
comes up because a previous rdiff-backup process failed unexpectedly.
Did you have another problem besides this?
