Have you searched for 'fileListReceive failed' in the list archives?  
There are quite a few threads on this:

  I assume you're using rsync over SSH, but you don't give us a lot of  
info to go on.

- Make sure you're using -D instead of --devices in the rsync command  
lines with more recent versions of rsync
- Make sure you can login to your client by running the command as the  
backuppc user on the backup server manually. If you're using SSH keys  
you need to OK the host fingerprint the first time you login, which  
BackupPC cannot do for you.
