[BackupPC-users] Tar exited with error 512, localhost on Ubuntu 12.10

Hi!

I just installed backuppc on a new home server, and am now trying to get first of all localhost to work. The system is ubuntu 12.10, and I use tar for localhost backups. When I start a full backup, it runs for a while and then I get an error (from the log file):

2013-01-29 13:47:33 Got fatal error during xfer (Tar exited with error 512 () status)
2013-01-29 13:47:38 Backup aborted (Tar exited with error 512 () status)

And from running (as instructed on the troubleshooting page of the wiki: 

$ sudo -u backuppc /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_dump -v -f localhost
(lots of output, then:)
Got fatal error during xfer (Tar exited with error 512 () status)

Some details from my configuration - config.pl:

$Conf{TarFullArgs} = '$fileList+';
$Conf{TarFullArgs} = '$fileList+';
$Conf{TarClientCmd} = 'sudo $tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName'
. ' --totals';
$Conf{TarClientRestoreCmd} = 'sudo $tarPath -x -p --numeric-owner --same-owner'
. ' -v -f - -C $shareName';
$Conf{TarClientPath} = '/bin/tar';

I have edited the TarClientCmd and TarClientRestoreCmd according to the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupPC. It did not work out of the box.

localhost.pl:
# $Conf{TarClientCmd} = '/usr/bin/env LC_ALL=C $tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName' . ' --totals';

Any ideas on what is wrong? What did I miss?

Best,

Magnus
