You're probably facing 
https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/blob/master/docs/FAQ.adoc#why-does-rdiff-backup-complain-about-command-line-interface-being-deprecated-even-though-im-using-the-new-syntax

Did you check 
https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/blob/master/docs/migration.adoc#migration-from-old-to-new-cli 
(tl;dr: it is deprecated, the new command is `regress`).
