The bug is very simple to reproduce here. Just run rsnapshot several
times per day and you will eventually hit the problem.
Could you provide a bzip2'd e2image -r of a corrupted filesystem for
analysis?
OK I've uploaded the file (~80 MB):

Hope it helps.
Thanks, can't guarantee that the post-mortem will lead to the anwer but
it's worth a look.
I also took a look myself and it turned out that my maildir, which
contains the LKML messages of the last three months, is the root of the
problem. I can now reproduce the bug, by simply running (e.g.):
cp -al /var/backup/hourly.3/localhost/home/markus/.maildir/lkml/. /var/tmp/debug
where /var is mounted as: "/dev/sda1 on /var type ext4 (rw,noatime,commit=60)"
and /var/backup/hourly.3/localhost/ is a previous backup produced by rsnapshot.
From the original post it wasn't quite clear; do you hit runtime
corruption, indicated by the kernel logs when the fs is mounted, and a
subsequent fsck also finds errors?
Just for completeness, if there are errors in the system logs, can you
post them here as well?
Thanks,
-Eric
