rdiff-backup only uses librsync to calculate increments of file data. By its design stuff like xattr and acl belong to file metadata. It can store them too but if corresponding python modules (pylibacl and pyxattr) available
to be precise... support for pyxattr and pylibacl are in the development 0.13 branch of rdiff-backup and not in the stable 0.12 branch. Maybe if we all make puppy dog faces in Colin's general direction we can guilt him into taking a look at the 0.13.4 rdiff-backup release and seeing how good the xattr support is.
