I don't think the RAM is bad, but I can do a check on it. The directories no 
longer exist but I swear they had to have. After a lot of observation, it's 
creating new directories and after 2 full backups, the errors stop (duh, 
because it's not looking back an extra full backup when rsyncing). I also 
noticed backup 0 or the lowest one seems to always have the data even though 
newer ones do not even on hosts where no data has changed in months. My 
suspicion is that the inodes got messed up and only one was kept meaning all 
the old hardlinks went away and only the first one (original) was kept. That's 
from not knowing anything about ext4 though so I could be wrong.

I'm running fsck -f, and it's still on the first pass. I'll update you when it 
finishes.

Do those directories exist? Can you read them as the backuppc user? Have 
you tried an fsck on the partition?

'Clean' means it was unmounted before the last shutdown, not that the 
structure is correct.  Use a -f to force a check anyway.

Bad RAM can cause this sort of problem too.
