What is the output of:
ls -la
1213856098_21475_0//f%2fvar/flib/fbackuppc/fpc/flinuxpc/f0/ff%252f/ffusr/ffshare/ffman/ffman3/ffform_field_buffer.3x.lzma/flib/fbackuppc/fpc/flinuxpc/f0/ff%252f/ffusr/ffshare/ffman/ffman3/ffform_field_buffer.3x.lzma/flib/fbackuppc/fpc/flinuxpc/f0/ff%252f/ffusr/ffshare/ffman/ffman3/ffform_field_buffer.3x.lzma/flib/fbackuppc/fpc/flinuxpc/f0/ff%252f/ffusr/ffshare/ffman/ffman3/ffform_field_buffer.3x.lzma/flib/fbackuppc/fpc/flinuxpc/f0/ff%252f/ffusr/ffshare/ffman/ffman3/ffform_field_buffer.3x.lzma/flib/fbackuppc/fpc/flinuxpc/f0/ff%252f/ffusr/ffshare/ffman/ffman3/ffform_field_buffer.3x.lzma/flib/fbackuppc/fpc/flinuxpc/f0/ff%252f/ffusr/ffshare/ffman/ffman3/ffform_field_buffer.3x.lzma/flib/fbackuppc/fpc/flinuxpc/f0/ff%252f/ffusr/ffshare/ffman/ffman3/ffform_field_buffer.3x.lzma/flib/fbackuppc/fpc/flinuxpc/f0/ff%252f/ffusr/ffshare/ffman/ffman3/ffform_field_buffer.3x.lzma/flib/fbackuppc/fpc/flinuxpc/f0/ff%252f/ffusr/ffshare/ffman/ffman3/ffform_field_buffer.3x.lzma/flib/fbackuppc/fpc/fli
nuxpc/f0/ff%252f/ffusr

Is there any log entries in syslog/etc?
Check "dmesg" to see any other problems?

My thought would be a possibly corrupt filesystem, so if you can, stop
backuppc, umount your /var/lib/backuppc and run the fsck tool over it.

Hope that helps...
