A Google search indicates that this may be a problem with rsync, but I 
can't find anything more specific and I don't know enough about rsync 
over ssh or backuppc to know where to start troubleshooting. Can someone 
please enlighten me?

I would really appreciate it.

Here is the log file from a failed transaction:

=================================================

Contents of file /var/lib/backuppc/pc/<client>/XferLOG.bad, modified 
2008-12-02 02:45:52 (Extracting only Errors)

Got fatal error during xfer (fileListReceive failed)
Backup aborted (fileListReceive failed)
Not saving this as a partial backup since it has fewer files than the 
prior one (got 0 and 0 files versus 0)
