Which version is this?

Well, we need to know the version because it's a fairly recent
feature. You did use --slim and -a, right?

Note that tests so far have shown that its not very fast at applying
diffs. There's probably a lot of room for improvement but I wrote the
code and havn't been able to load up the whole DB myself, so I'm
completely unsure about where the speed is going. If you can try it on
a minute diff first that would be nice, then at least we have an idea
how much time it will take...

Have a nice day,
