backup: Ignore xattr.list permission error for parent directories

Browse Source 
On FreeBSD, limited users may not be able to even list xattrs for the
parent directories above the snapshot source paths. As this can cause
the backup to fail, just ignore those errors.

Bugfix: `backup` works if xattrs above the backup target cannot be read
When backup targets are specified using absolute paths, then `backup` also
includes information about the parent folders of the backup targets in the
snapshot. If the extended attributes for some of these folders could not be
read due to missing permissions, this caused the backup to fail. This has been
fixed.
