Thanks - I read the error verbatim and realised I was being silly.

The error (I can't remember the exact text and can't get to it for now) 
mentioned that the cpool directory and pc directory did not exist and it could 
not create the hard links, then it went on to certain commands to try.

I was concentrating on the hardlinks issue and tried creating them myself and 
found no issue. Then realised it also complained about the missing directories, 
I resolved this by simple creating the directories under /raid/backuppc/ and 
chown'ing and backuppc works fine.
