The ubuntu package should create a backuppc user and that should be
the owner of everything under TOPDIR.  I think you need to diagnose
why the link fails but trying the same operation from the shell (su -s
/bin/bash backuppc if it doesn't have a shell configure for login).
I think you are making things too complicate with a bunch of bind
mounts.  Why not just mount the partition as /var/lib/backuppc and if
you want it to be self-contained, symlink other stuff there?
