You're using my suggested CLIENT.pl file from the wiki :-)

You need to adapt the file to your needs, especially give the right 
rsyncd-sharename, rsyncd-username and rsyncd-password.

taken from your attached file:

# What transport to use backup the client [smb|rsync|rsyncd|tar|archive]:
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';
$Conf{RsyncdUserName} = 'backuppc';
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = 'YOUR-PASSWORD-GOES-IN-HERE';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
   'root'
];

Username, Password and Sharename should be the same like on your client 
pc /etc/rsyncd.conf

You can test your rsyncd-setup with:

        # rsync RSYNCD-USERNAME@CLIENTPC::

This should give you a list of the rsyncd-shares you configured on the 
client

        # rsync RSYNCD-USERNAME@CLIENTPC::RSYNCSHARENAME

should return the filelist.

If this is working, you can continue testing your BackupPC configuration.

On the backuppc-server I had problems accessing the configuration files 
from the backuppc-server GUI until I did:

        # sudo chown backuppc:www-data *.pl

You can also try to restart your BackupPC Server with

        # sudo /etc/init.d/backuppc restart


Good Luck :-)

- Kurt

PS: I'll send you the configuration files from a working client via 
private mail.
