What have you changed in the configuration?  You should be able to see 
the command issued to collect the data in the XferLOG for the backup run 
(on the same screen, below where you see the backups listed). It should 
say something like this near the top:
Running: /usr/bin/ssh -C -l root twiki /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender 
--numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D ...more options...

You must be running some other command, then.

That sounds like a bad idea.  Better to use ssh or su to run as a user 
that already has access.  Someone has already considered the security of 
these approaches.  And it's going to depend on the security of the 
backuppc server's filesystem any way you look at it.
