Precisely correct. I removed those port arguments and set the SSH server 
on the target machine back to port 22 and it's working. Now I need to 
figure out how to properly tell BackupPC that SSH is on a non-standard 
port. I thought that I was doing it properly, but clearly not. All my 
other boxes use the standard ports, which is why I've not had this issue 
before.

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply and help find the 
resolution to the issue.
