I have just been able to reproduce it with completely new test backuppc server on Centos 6

I do not install any CPAN module on the test server.

It has only two host to backup (for testing purposes) - do full dump host1 and host2 - they are all Centos 6 system. Dump host1 first, then finished, then dump host2. and than archive host2. After that extract it suing tar from my Ubuntu 10.10 Macbook

Obvoulsy it is reproducable here.
