What error do you get when running as the backuppc user (or whatever
id the daemon is using when the link fails)?    Also, is the target
disk formatted with a linux filesystem that supports hardlinks?    Tar
backups should run about as fast as the server is able to write the
data to disk - but it does have to write it all on a full run.  If the
links are failing you probably have a lot of clutter with additional
copies filling your disk.
