The most likely cause is that IO::Dirent fails on certain file systems.
Yes, Tino's patch is meant to fix that. It's also fixed in 3.2.0beta0.
Just to be sure, why don't you change this line:
$IODirentOk = 1;
in lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm to:
$IODirentOk = 0;
and then see if BackupPC_nightly reports non-zero numbers?
