I have two servers, both Mandriva 2010.2, have exact same version of rdiff-backup(1.3.3) and the exact same rsync. I used to use rdiff-backup quite a bit back in debian, but I've moved over to a different OS since then. When i try and use rdiff-backup now i just get plenty of errors. But connecting via rsync is working perfectly fine.
As seen below:
[root@localhost var]# rsync --rsh='ssh -p24752' -avz -e root@example.com.au:/var/test /var/backup sending incremental file list drwxr-xr-x 4096 2012/06/22 13:27:38 backup
sent 39 bytes received 13 bytes 104.00 bytes/sec total size is 0 speedup is 0.00
But this is what happens when i try and run it via rdiff-backup
[root@localhost var]# rdiff-backup --remote-schema 'ssh -C %s -p 24752' -v9 --print-statistics root@example.com.au::/var/test /var/backup

Remember that, under the default settings, rdiff-backup must be
installed in the PATH on the remote system. See the man page for more
information on this. This message may also be displayed if the remote
version of rdiff-backup is quite different from the local version (1.3.3).
When i copy and paste the connection failed using the following command string, it works perfectly fine straight away (key pairs have been setup)
[root@localhost var]# ssh -C root@example.com.au -p24752

Both servers are root, both sets of files are present. I tried the ssh command with '-t -t' to combat that stdin error, but that causes a python memory exception :/.
Any ideas on how to proceed?
EDIT: Also here's what it does when i dont use the custom schema (more or less the same, but port 22 refuses connection as we dont use it :P
[root@localhost rdiffinstall]# rdiff-backup -v9 --print-statistics root@example.com.au::/var/test /var/backup
