Perhaps you have a saved entry in known_hosts that conflicts? That *shouldn't*
matter, but might. I suggest clearing it, and using this:

root@venkman:~# cat /var/lib/backuppc/.ssh/config 

# don't accept version 1
Protocol 2
# list hosts by name/IP, not unreadable hash
HashKnownHosts no
# add hosts automatically to known hosts list, without prompting
StrictHostKeyChecking no

Secondly, what are the permissions on the following?

root@venkman:~# ls -l /usr/share/backuppc/cgi-bin/index.cgi 
/usr/lib/backuppc/cgi-bin/index.cgi /var/lib/backuppc/.ssh/

-rwsr-x--- 1 backuppc www-data 6088 May 17 19:56 
/usr/lib/backuppc/cgi-bin/index.cgi
lrwxrwxrwx 1 backuppc www-data   39 May 17 19:56 
/usr/share/backuppc/cgi-bin/index.cgi -> ../../../lib/backuppc/cgi-bin/index.cgi

/var/lib/backuppc/.ssh/:
total 36
-rw-r--r-- 1 backuppc backuppc  353 Jan 27  2011 config
-rw------- 1 backuppc backuppc 1675 Dec 31  2010 id_rsa
-rw-r--r-- 1 backuppc backuppc  398 Jul  1  2011 id_rsa.pub
-rw-r--r-- 1 backuppc backuppc 6179 May 13 20:32 known_hosts
