though it probably won't solve the underlying problem: In the

"current_mirror" files, for instance

+Delete the one with the earlier date. Also move the mirror_metadata
+file with the later date out of the way, because it probably didn't

+The next time rdiff-backup runs it won't try regressing the
+destination. Metadata will be read from the file system, which may
+result in some extra files being backed up, but there shouldn't be any
+data loss.
