If you do a 'ls -al /home' using a command shell (command line) on the
machine in question does it show files, or just the usual '.' and '..'
directory entries?

Do you have exclude patterns set up for this backup, which might be
excluding all the files actually there?

What happens if you run the BackupPC dump by hand?
You'll need to run as the backuppc user for this; possibly by su'ing from
root with a command like 'su -s /bin/bash - backuppc'. It will allow you to
watch the backup take place in more detail:
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_dump -f -v localhost

You may have to modify that to fit your environment, based on the path to
BackupPC_dump and whatever you call 'localhost' in your /etc/backuppc/hosts
file.
