I have recently moved my server from Fedora to Scientific 
Linux 6.1 .
I installed the backuppc binary from el6 and configured the 
system to use Mod_perl. At first the test back ups seemed to 
be working but when I try to do a full backup based on the 
host configuration files backuppc will only back up the root 
'/' file system. Partitions in fstab that are mounted at 
specific mount points return empty dumps. There are a number 
of error messages that have been recorded. The first is when 
I start backuppc:

# /etc/init.d/backuppc start
Starting BackupPC:                                         
[  OK  ]
/etc/BackupPC//config.pl did not return a true value at - 
line 1.
Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]...
Try `grep --help' for more information.

This must be do to the reading of the perl files in 
INSTALL_DIR/bin

The following lines are the errors I get when backuppc 
attempts to descend into mountpoints. This occurs on the 
server as well as on network clients.

Saving this as a partial backup, replacing the prior one (got 110083 and 0

I've tried to search the archives for relevant issues and 
haven't found a match to my problem.
Just to reiterate the backups of the root file system are 
successful it is erroring out on the mounted sub-partitions.

Any insight would be appreciated.
