This is a little confusing. The client does act as an ssh server (not a
backuppc server) and must accept connections but the ssh login is as
root. There is no need for a backuppc user on the client, and no need
for it to be able to originate an ssh connection to the backuppc server.
You are wasting your time trying anything except starting as the
backuppc user on the backuppc server and making the ssh connection as
root on the clients.
