I haven't looked at the article you're quoting, but you should *not* get a
password prompt from ssh. BackupPC needs access to the remote machine
*without interaction* and *without extraenous output*.

Some global substitution went severely wrong there. You should delete about 15
instances of "ist+". Though I can't imagine how the $fileList+ would be
affected, except if the "ist+" somehow appeared while copying from the log
file ... ;-)

Passwordless ssh connections are definitely not working. From the logfile
excerpt above, I'd say you need to be able to run

        ssh -q -x -l backuppc debian date

*as user backuppc on the BackupPC server* and get *only* the current date and
time as output, though I'm not sure you'll be able to actually do backups as
unpriviledged user.
