I got tired of rebooting to run my backups once a week and so I
installed a 32bit chroot edgy (6.10) install as a workaround.  The
backup appears to be running now with no ill effects. Just wanted to
leave a quick note here in case anyone needs/wants to do this.  I
specifically installed fuse into the chroot, as the bug report above
seemed to indicate that is where the problem is.  Although now that I
think about it, a 32 bit userland that has to talk to a 64 bit kernel
could be problematic...  I will report back if I find any problems.

I started with the instructions here:

After running debootstrap, I more or less did the following (from memory):
# copied sources.list from gutsy in a non chroot shell into chroot environment
sed -i -e 's/gutsy/edgy/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get install language-pack-en-base
apt-get upgrade
mount -t proc proc /proc
apt-get install encfs rsync openssh-client
