Not sure what could be going on here, but backuppc does not use the
native rsync on the server side.  It has its own implementation in
perl.

Are you overwriting libraries in use by running programs? Maybe even
the running rsyncd itself?  Perhaps ending up with mixed/incompatible
library versions during the run.  That would not be a good thing.
