Fair-nuf Skip and thanks for the reply.

Extended attributes (EAs) extend the basic attributes of files and 
directories in a file system.  They did not appear (to my knowledge) in 
OS X until Tiger.  So you would not have encountered them I guess.

So, in Panther have you noticed any rdiff induced problems with time 
stamps, permissions, forks, whatever?
