>  What happens if you try "su - backuppc"?

Nothing special.
I get the normal shell for the backuppc user.
Could you past me the output of the following commands on your working
system, please?

ls -laR /usr/local/backuppc (or whatever directory where you installed BackupPC)
ls -l /usr/bin/suidperl

Thank you very very much!
