I get:
Inode count: 29360128
Inodes per group: 8192
Inode blocks per group: 512
Inode size: 256
so I don't think what you are seeing is excessive.
To use --remote-tempdir you specify the directory as it would be on the
remote machine (and it should exist already of course) e.g. /mnt/hda1/tmp/.
You could also try regressing directly on the remote machine using
rdiff-backup --check-destination-dir --tempdir /mnt/hda1/tmp /my/repository

I just tried regressing a file, and i got another "error 28 no space
left on disk"
However the disk has 288gb space free
Did a little googling and found suggestions that inodes can cause a
problem if there are lots of small files, well I have set no delete
older than limits on my backups, and so with infinite backup
increments for 5 busy workstations, perhaps this is the problem ?
I've just run $ tune2fs -l /dev/hda1 | grep Inode
and get
Inode count: 30334976
Inodes per group: 8192
Inode blocks per group: 512
Inode size: 256
I'm still researching inodes, (don't know what they are at this stage)
does my mount look excessive ?
