I'm not an selinux expert, but wouldn't this all take care of itself
if you just mounted your storage partition at /var/lib/BackupPC
(preferably before installing the package) instead of somewhere else?
It is really a CentOS or rpm packaging question so you might get
better answers elsewhere. There are some tools to debug selinux
issues, or maybe the templates under /etc/selinux/targeted would mean
something to you.
