I know people are tired of talking about this error from the responses I've 
seen on google
when researching it but it cropped up for me now.

I have been running successfully for quite some time under Ubuntu 11.04 and 
BackupPC 3.1.0.
I back up an Ubuntu 11.04 server (named r4p17).

Yesterday I added a windows client to using cygwin-rsync per the documentation. 
 The backup
worked fine.  I changed nothing on r4p17 and nothing on the backuppc server 
configuration.
Today I received an email...

The following hosts had an error that is probably caused by a
misconfiguration.  Please fix these hosts:
   - 10.0.0.8 (No files dumped for share /)

Regards,
PC Backup Genie

...and the error in the log is...

Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -n -l root 10.0.0.8 env LC_ALL=C /bin/tar -c -v -f 
- -C / --totals --exclude=./sys 
--exclude=./proc .
full backup started for directory /
Xfer PIDs are now 9123,9122
Tar exited with error 65280 () status
tarExtract: Done: 0 errors, 0 filesExist, 0 sizeExist, 0 sizeExistComp, 0 
filesTotal, 0 sizeTotal
Got fatal error during xfer (No files dumped for share /)
Backup aborted (No files dumped for share /)
Not saving this as a partial backup since it has fewer files than the prior one 
(got 0 and 0 files versus 0)

...I'm not sure how adding a windows client affected backing up r4p17 and I'm 
not totally sure that is the
reason but I am suspicious.  Can anyone lend some insight on what to check?
