(Get the code!)
Hmm, yes. The previous fix only applied to files which generate the "Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character" error.
Unfortunately, with a directory, it isn't clear what to do. Should rdiff-backup skip the entire directory since it can't create it on the destination? (Analogous to what it does with files) Or should it somehow rename the directory on the destination and then perform the reverse rename during restore? (preferably, but the infrastructure isn't really there to do that)
Out of curiosity, what is the destination filesystem and Linux version? Can you create a directory on it with the á character?
