It is trying to change the ownership from root (who is running configure.pl)
to the BackupPC user.  The strange thing is that many chown() calls prior
to this were successful.

Does init.d/gentoo-backuppc.conf exist?  (The path is relative to the
unpacked release - ie: the place you ran configure.pl from.)  What
happens when you manually try to chown it, eg:

    sudo chown 1000:1000 init.d/gentoo-backuppc.conf
