I am not giving up that fast (because I know its the primary source for non-
working backups):

Have you actually tested it that the user backuppc can successfully log into 
the client (as root) without password and with known host???

"There shouldn't be" and "it should work" and "I don't see why it shouldn't" 
are not statements that will make me stop buggering you.

Become the backuppc-user on the server ("sudo -u backuppc -i bash"), then do a 
"ssh root@<client>" and when that gives you a command-prompt without any 
further keyboard-action from you, you have advanced a step. Next is then to 
check whether rsync and/or tar are actually available on the client.

Good luck,

Arnold
