If you installed from the sourceforge tarball you should be able to
specify where you want the archive.  If you used a .deb/.rpm packaged
version, /data/backuppc doesn't sound like the right place.   Try
making one of the links that are failing in the logs manually as the
backuppc user - you may get a better error message.

As for timing - fulls do a complete read on the data on the target
side for a block checksum comparison.  Incrementals skip anything
where the previous full has the same timestamp and file length.
