Yes, I have the same permissions.
The strange thing is that I get the same error even if I try to run
BackupPC directly as backuppc user:

server:/usr/local/backuppc/bin # su - backuppc
backuppc@server:~> /usr/local/backuppc/bin/BackupPC -d
/usr/local/backuppc/bin/BackupPC: Wrong user: my userid is 0, instead
of 105 (backuppc)
Please su backuppc first
BackupPC::Lib->new failed

I don't understand why.
