Probably the script is BackupPC_deleteBackup. Did you get any error-message?

You have to delete the backups in /var/lib/backuppc/pc/<host>/backups too.
In addition you should delete the corresponding XferLOG.<backup-number>
Also you can check owner and file permisions in /etc/backuppc/ as well as in 
/var/lib/backuppc/pc/<PC>
If you've deleted the .pl you can't add him to the backup schedule. Probably 
you didn't tell us the whole story ;-)
