I don't think rdiff-backup would work with rotated drives - not really. 
You could make it work to some extent with some cumbersome gimmicks, but 
not perfectly. I found this thread on the subject:

http://www.backupcentral.com/phpBB2/two-way-mirrors-of-external-mailing-lists-3/rdiff-backup-23/rdiff-backup-and-rotated-external-drives-122523/

But why rotate drives? Big drives are not very expensive nowadays.
