I think this last point is the clue.  I you've edited config.pl as root, it may
have become owned by root and not readable by backuppc or www-data (or whatever
your web server user is).  In that case, backuppc will fall back to a default
config, which just backs up /etc.

This happens to me all the time.  If you edit a file as root, some editors will
preserve the file ownership when you save, others (emacs) will change it back to
root.

Try 'ls -l config.pl' and 'chown backuppc:www-data config.pl', then reload the
configuration in the web interface, and look at the config again there to see if
it's correct.
