Please su backuppc first

> su -l /bin/sh backuppc su: unknown login: /bin/sh

This is telling you that you don't have a user named "/bin/sh."  Frankly,
you probably don't, it's probably better to use the backuppc user.

su - backuppc

should be sufficient.

Unsurprisingly, the username "/use/local/bin/bash" is too long, but you
probably don't have a user named that anyway.
