Problem finally resolved.

The error was caused by BackupPC being unable to locate the rsync binary on the 
client device. The Last Bad Xfer log gave me the clue : Fatal error (bad 
version): ash: /usr/bin/rsync: not found

The device is a Synology NAS server and instead of having the binary at 
/usr/bin/rsync it was located at usr/syno/bin/rsync , so the standard setting 
in BackupPC didn't point to the correct path.

Once again my thanks to all who have given me assistance - it is greatly 
appreciated.
