I'm making backup of 4 folders on 700 w2k3 servers and not all have all
the folders (depends on some aplications instalation). As you can
imagine, I don't plan to install and configure the rsync client on all
the servers manually, so I've made an instalation packet that install
and configure everything. The problem is than, as I send a one-for-all
config file than have the 4 folders, when I backup a server that don't
have any, BackupPc gives me an error "chdir failed" and stops making the
backup.

Why not have your install package create the directory if it doesn't
exist and also create an empty file in the directory. This will allow
you to tell the difference between a host whose folder has been lost
(deleted) as opposed to a host that simply doesn't need/use that
directory.
Creating the empty file also allows  you to leave the error on empty
share option enabled,,,,

I prefer to fix the error then if I see an error I know it is
something to worry about!
