I am not a python coder sadly, but the fault appears to be generated by
this line in fs_abilities.py:

assert letter_rp.lstat(), letter_rp

I would suggest commenting out this line, as it is just an error test, and
in this case it may be a 'false positive', but of course this is not so
easy for you because you are running rdiff-backup.exe under windows. Are
you able to install Cygwin and its rdiff-backup? Then you should be able to
edit fs_abilities.py and run rdiff-backup from cygwin prompt and see if
this helps.
