Sorry, I haven't been following this thread, so my questions might
be off base.

There errors aren't directly from BackupPC.  It is from rsync (ie: the client)
inside flist.c:

    rsyserr(FERROR_XFER, errno, "opendir %s failed", full_fname(fbuf));

Normally I wouldn't expect the rsync client to be reading the BackupPC
data tree.

Are you backing up the local host (ie: backuppc server)?  If so, are you
accidently recursively backing up the backuppc store?  That will take
a looooong time.  Or are you trying to backup the BackupPC server onto
another machine?
