I found 
  
http://www.backupcentral.com/phpBB2/two-way-mirrors-of-external-mailing-lists-3/backuppc-21/tar-error-512-68957/

Does that help with pinpointing what the problem might be?

Have you tried running this manually, as the user that backuppc would
have been running the above tar command, via sudo, to see what errors
you get?
