I had been using backuppc for about a year without any problems. I upgraded to 
karmic from jaunty and I started having problems. I have been fighting with 
this for weeks and today I completely removed backuppc along with the config 
files and reinstalled. I am still running into the same problems.

Logs are as follows:

A little bit later output from the same command...

If I use a small users home directory as a test to see if everything is working 
ok I am able to successful complete a backup. Which is leading me to think that 
this has something to do with the files I'm encountering in a full system 
backup.
