I've been through the same with CentOS RPM for BackupPC, eventually I
just stopped using it...
I rebuilt the SRPM for BackupPC from Fedora, it builds just fine in
CentOS 5 and works just fine. It actually starts working out of the
box, without any changes to Apache needed, you're able to use Apache
with user "apache" and even run other applications on the same server.
I reported those issues to CentOS, but they still found that requiring
the users to change Apache's user was acceptable and did not want to
change that...
You may also try EPEL's package of BackupPC, I believe it will be the
same as the one I rebuilt from Fedora's SRPMS:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/BackupPC-3.1.0-3.el5.noarch.rpm
Otherwise, get Fedora's SRPM here:
ftp://ftp.nrc.ca/pub/systems/linux/redhat/fedora/linux//releases/11/Everything/source/SRPMS/BackupPC-3.1.0-5.fc11.src.rpm
And use these instructions to rebuild it:
