Why not using rsync with hardlinking? Only costs an inode for like files, takes care of files that have been removed (I don't see rdiff doing that), and is very well understood - you get a 100% "copy" of the directories at very low cost. Over a wireless link I can backup 3-4 gig in 2-3 minutes because 98% of the files don't change from day to day.
I would also recomend this - we use rsync for remote backups of 3 servers. In all, about 250G, and it takes about 10-15mins (Like Jon said, it only sends what is changed)
