[BackupPC-users] BackupPC error fileListReceive failed

Hello,

We receive this error fileListReceive failed when using BackupPC 3.0 on Ubuntu 8 to backup a Mac 10.5 client. Follow the instruction at http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/ssh.html#how_can_client_access_as_root_be_avoided for the SSH authentication. Receive the expected result as "root" when issue the command ssh -l root nos.library.k12.or.us whoami.

Here is the Xfer log:

Contents of file /var/lib/backuppc/pc/nos.library.k12.or.us/XferLOG.bad, modified 2010-03-10 16:02:29 (Extracting only Errors)

Read EOF: 
Tried again: got 0 bytes
fileListReceive() failed
Done: 0 files, 0 bytes
Got fatal error during xfer (fileListReceive failed)
Backup aborted (fileListReceive failed)

A few things of concern are:

1. Since the server and client exchange the keys, should the command ssh -l backuppc backup.library.or.us whoami from the client returns something? We being asked for password.

2. Fatal error (bad version): No protocol specified. Google returns nothing on this error.

3. According to some posts, we already have the -D option for RsyncArgs and RsyncRestoreArgs

Thank you for advice on resolving this issue
