It is reported on the mail list fairly often, but usually turns out to 
be that the ssh keys were set up and tested as the root user on the 
backuppc server instead of the backuppc user, connecting as root to the 
target.  If you are sure you are running as the backuppc user, does
ssh -l root target_host id
complete without a password prompt?
