Having failed to properly digest a previous issue, I am hesitant... :-)

On the backuppc server, have you tried after su - backuppc (ie you
assume the id of the backuppc user):

/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_dump -v -f WinServer

This should provide some debug output that may be enlightening as to why
the backup fails. Of course, rsync must be installed on the client pc in
addition to the sshd.
