The client side thinks the network is broken.

What's between the client and server? Can you get them on the same switch at
least long enough to see if it stays connected that way?  You can run tcpdump on
both ends, but all you will be able to tell is which end sent the last packet or
if something sent a RST.

 
Both machines are on the same LAN with only a switch between them. The backuppc host backs up two other machines, all 4 on the same LAN/switch, without errors. This is a small network with only 7 machines on it and minimal traffic. One machine, hammerhead, runs backuppc, and I am slowly adding clients for it to backup. I have three clients running now, and this is the first one to break. All four are Debian machines - no Windows machines yet.  Backups are run at different times, so there is no collision. I am stumped on this one as far as where to start to debug it. I could try -vv or -vvv with the rsync log to see more details.
