Found the problem and its solution already as mentioned in my earlier post. The 
first time ssh creates and entry in known_host file, which was missing and 
hence the error.

It sounds like the backuppc side is setup properly or close to it.   The logs
here are really not telling us anything except that it didn't work.   Do you 
have
any logs from the client side.   I don't know why it is succeeding when run from
the command line.   But I would think that the logs from the client might give
some great clues.
