I've got the feeling that there are two backuppc users or there is some
similar subtle problem. And, of course, user backuppc has to be able to 
access /data! 
Please send the output of:


id backuppc
grep backuppc /etc/passwd /etc/group 
(replace the password hash from grep output by XXX before sending it to the 
list)
ls -al /data
ls -ln /data/BackupPC
su - backuppc
id
cd /data
cd /data/BackupPC

Bye,

Tino.
