There is second issue to verify when you re-install but keep your old 
backuppc data: when you install backuppc, and when the creation of a 
backuppc user is done during install (rpms do it this way) linux will 
attribute the next availablet uid and gid - which may be different from 
the uid and gid defined in your original configuration - resulting in a 
somewhat schizophrenic situation.

I have had - after a disk crash - this problem, and solved it by using 
chown -R

To avoid this problem, I now configure my backuppc userr prior to 
installing backuppc and explicitely specify uid and gid with values 
somewhere in the range of values that dont overlap with Linux habits.
