Ok, apparently I am particularly dense tonight. I have had the  
following error when setting up a host:

> Remote[1]: rsync: push_dir#3 "/home/backuppc/15" failed: No such file
> or directory (2)
> Remote[1]: rsync error: errors selecting input/output files, dirs
> (code 3) at main.c(602) [sender=2.6.8]
> Read EOF:
> Tried again: got 0 bytes
> fileListReceive() failed

The above directory doesn't exist and shouldn't and I don't have it  
anywhere in backuppc for that host.

So I am trying to test using rsync via command line from the backuppc  
server to test the problem. The host server automatically backs up its  
files to a directory/files owned etc by root and I am trying to backup  
that host to backuppc. If I rsync from the backuppc server as root,  
that works. So I am trying to rsync as backuppc user. I have entered  
the following in visudo on the host:

## Allow root to run any commands anywhere
root    ALL=(ALL)       ALL
backuppc ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/local/bin/backuppc-rsync
backuppc ALL=NOPASSWD:/root/backups/

The /root/backups/ (tried with and without the last /) is where the  
server makes it backups in other directories and is owned by root.  
 From the console on the backuppc server I issue the following command:
rsync -avz -e "ssh -p 22" myserver.domain.net:/root/backups /var/tmp/ 
pwrnctmpback/rsyncmanual

And I get the following:
receiving file list ... rsync: link_stat "/root/backups" failed:  
Permission denied (13)
done

So obviously doing it that way, backuppc user, does not work.

Can someone please tell me what the issue is? I have googled to death  
and don't see how to fix this.
