Looks like a permission problem. backuppc user cannot access other
users' home directory. You should use sudo:

give backuppc the permission to run rsync as root without password, then
change this config:

$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '/usr/bin/sudo $rsyncPath $argList';
$Conf{RsyncClientRestoreCmd} = '/usr/bin/sudo $rsyncPath $argList';
