Ok,
a bit too quick:
did you rsync to the usb disk with rsync with hardlinks?
did you rsync/copy back to local disk with hardlinks?
Does mounting the usb drive at the backuppc data folder show your backups?
If not, it could be a config thing.
Else there might be something wrong with the way you copied the data from
(or initially to) the USB disk.
