Well, of course rsnapshot is not working: That error is preventing it from running.

Edit the /user/local/etc/rsnapshot.conf file and make sure that there is only a tab character -- no spaces! -- on that line between "cmd_rsnapshot_diff" and "/usr/local/bin/rsnapshot-diff". If you find spaces, replace them with a single tab character and then execute "rsnapshot -t hourly" again or "rsnapshot configtest".

Also, when posting text copied from the shell, it is often best to enclose the copied text between [​code] and [​/code] tags; that will make it easier to see whitespace properly and will ensure that the forum's formatting rules don't change the text you're copying. For example, here is a section of my rsnapshot.conf pasted without tags:

backup /c/addons-config/ localhost/
backup /c/home/ localhost/
backup /bin/ localhost/
backup /etc/ localhost/
backup /frontview/ localhost/
backup /lib/ localhost/

and here is the same section pasted between [​code] and [​/code] tags:

backup  /c/addons-config/       localhost/
backup  /c/home/                localhost/
backup  /bin/                   localhost/
backup  /etc/                   localhost/
backup  /frontview/             localhost/
backup  /lib/                   localhost/
