First, I created wolping.sh (notice change from .bsh to .sh) and put it 
into /etc/backuppc. Changed it permissions to allow execution (chmod 750 
[filename].) Changed owner to backuppc:www-data. Found 
NmbLookupFindHostCmd and made it blank.

Then set server pingpath to /etc/backuppc/wolping.sh. Created 
/etc/ethers containing my client mac addresses (because I had manually 
tested etherwake from server and it was working already so why change to 
wakeonlan.)

And it worked for me.
