(Get the code!)
This bug effected me, and was rather annoying to debug.
After going to the trouble of reporting it upstream, I discovered it's already fixed in rsnapshot 1.3.1 as packaged in Maverick.
I suggest that version is backported to Lucid - it's just fixes in there after all, and this bug causes serious diskspace waste! (It loses the --link-dest parameter on all but the first backup directory, thus taking an entire copy.. the whole point of rsnapshot is to avoid taking those entire copies!)
