Backuppc doesn't send 'status' email, it only sends notifications of
problems - and I think it only does it during the nightly run.  Has
more time than you specifed elapsed for backups when the nightly run
starts?

If you want an email just to know it is running, I think if you put
some bogus directories in the pc directory it will include that
information in the nightly mail.
