Does the log file in question exist?

Are you SURE that's at "$TOPDIR/pc/<host>/"?  That directory structure 
should be in a numbered directory (corresponding to the backup number), 
such as "$TOPDIR/pc/<host>/14/".  Judging by the prompt, you are in a 
numbered (1) sub-directory.  If that's the case, this directory listing 
is normal, and we are interested in the REAL contents of 
"$TOPDIR/pc/<host>/" (including permissions).

I'd guess either permissions or SELinux.  What's the output of "getenforce"?
