Still no luck. I removed the sudo and am now trying a backup of a 
directory containing only a single file that belongs to the backuppc 
user on the client. I can see the rsync --server process running on the 
client, but it looks like nothing is being backed up. On the backuppc 
server, the file NewFileList for this client has a size 0.

In comparison, I ran a full backup of another host, also running RHEL 6 
and using the same ssh command with sudo, in 17 minutes.
