It's taken me  couple of days to get around to reading this.
I've done something similar to this for many years (and at one point posted
a HOWTO on the wiki). 

My suggestion is that you not use 'backuppc' as the username on the client.
That's a username defined elsewhere (i.e. in the BackupPC server package),
so there would be a collision if you installed the BackupPC server package
on a machine which had been set up as a client. Yes, it's a corner case, but
it's far easier to deal with corner cases before they become a problem. :)

I generically use 'rsyncbakup' for the username. The misspelling should
reduce the likelihood of a name collision. I've also used
<companyname>backup where it seemed appropriate to emphasize the name of the
company doing the backup.
