You can't run it exactly like that.  Backuppc starts the remote copy 
explicitly, then chats with it using its perl emulation of the rsync 
protocol.  Try running the closest 'rsync -essh ...' command you can use 
from the backuppc server command line as the backuppc user.  In 
particular the --server and --sender options wouldn't bue used.
