this is the problem: your remote end outputs 'bash: warning: setlocale:
LC_ALL: cannot change locale (de)', which it mustn't. Apart from localized
root error messages being a real pain for the administrator of the machine
(but that's just my opinion), BackupPC rsync backups need a data stream free
of extraneous output. You need to be able to run

        ssh -q -x -l root sarpc04.sar.de /bin/true

(as backuppc user on the BackupPC server) without getting *any* output. For
tar backups, the locale settings would matter, for rsync backups I don't
believe they do. They just need to be correct so you don't get any warning
messages (maybe you need to use 'de_DE' instead of 'de' somewhere?). You
probably need to check the bash startup files for root and the global ones or
basically anything you might have changed to set the locale to 'de'.

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Holger
