I am using rsnapshot on a Debian Wheezy server. This was recently upgraded from squeeze. Since the upgrade, I am getting the following error from the hourly cron job:
remote rm -rf /share/HDA_DATA/backup/rsnapshot/hourly.3 p1=-rf p2=/backup/rsnapshot/hourly.3/
remote cp -al /share/HDA_DATA/backup/rsnapshot/hourly.0 /share/HDA_DATA/backup/rsnapshot/hourly.1 p1=-al p2=/backup/rsnapshot/hourly.0

ERROR: Removal of LVM snapshot failed: 1280
Two LVM volumes are correctly backed up and Logical volume "rsnapshot" successfully removed, but then it gets to volume dl in lvm VG raid5 and see the unable to deactivate raid5-dl-real.
The name of my lvm snapshot is called raid5/rsnapshot. raid5-dl-real does not correspond to a volume name - the real device is /dev/mapper/raid5-dl.
So if this is the dl volume itself, why would lvm be trying to deactivate it?
Note that this was happening to an entirely different volume originally, so I removed it from the backup. Now it has shifted to this one.
The rsnapshot log isn't very enlightening either:
[16/Jul/2013:17:26:26] /sbin/lvcreate --snapshot --size 512M --name rsnapshot /dev/raid5/dl
[16/Jul/2013:17:26:29] /bin/mount /dev/raid5/rsnapshot /mnt/lvm-snapshot

[16/Jul/2013:17:29:02] rm -f /var/run/rsnapshot.pid
Any ideas?
Update - this has just started happening on an entirely different server. Same LVM issue.
One thing I have tried is to redirect the lvremove command to a script:
#!/bin/bash
sync
sleep 600
ls /dev/mapper/raid5-*-real
for i in /dev/mapper/raid5-*-real; do /sbin/dmsetup remove $i ; done
/sbin/lvremove --debug "$@"
So this syncs, sleeps for a bit, then removes any -real device maps before attempting the lvremove.
Even after all of this, the removal often fails. Here is the output from rsnapshot. Please ignore the error part way through, while there is an issue on one of the volumes, it is not until later that the lvremove fails:
remote cp -al /share/HDA_DATA/backup/rsnapshot/hourly.0 /share/HDA_DATA/backup/rsnapshot/hourly.1 p1=-al p2=/backup/rsnapshot/hourly.0
