I mean try to create a hardlink between a file under the pc directory

Backuppc does approximately the same test at startup but in perl and
you may not see the real error message.
Does the drive in question have a filesystem that handles hard links?
Everything is ext3, currently all in one filesystem, and as I said, as soon as I chown/chgrp'd the topdir the start script ran without an error.
So the hardlink error I got was due to the install routine setting the owner to root, probably because the backuppc user was already there.
And it's all a red-herring, as the hardlink error message only came in after I wiped and re-installed, never an issue in the original setup AFAIK.
Or is the message "link host-name" in my log when running "_dump -v" manually indicate a hardlinkng problem kicking in **after** the pc filesystem's already been created?
