I figured out the problem.

The folder on the network drive, pointed to by   /var/lib/BackupPC,
did not have rx permissions for "other".  This prevented root from
going in there to do things.

I hope no one spent too much time pondering this, and thank you for
the time you did.

BTW
Does anyone know how the BackupPC_Admin executable is built
from the BackupPC_Admin.pl script?

-rwsr-x---. 1 backuppc apache 6468 Jan 20 11:40 BackupPC_Admin
-rwxr-x---. 1 backuppc apache 3993 Jan 20 11:40 BackupPC_Admin.pl
What distribution/version are you running?   That looks like a suid
wrapper to start the perl script as backuppc when run under apache.
I see, so I should be able to put print statements into the perl script
to see where things are hanging.

I am running fedora 18,  32-bit x86
Package BackupPC-3.2.1-11.fc18.i686

and I spoke too soon about fixing the problem :-(
Here is a description of the problem, when choosing "archive" from
the localhost/backuppc drop-down menu.

-- When the LOCK file is in the BackupPC/pc/archive folder, the GUI hangs.
-- If I first remove the LOCK file from the BackupPC/pc/archive folder, the GUI returns, fine.

ls -l BackupPC/pc/archive
-rw-r-----. 1 backuppc backuppc 0 May 11 02:59 LOCK
-rw-r-----. 1 backuppc backuppc 0 May 11 03:00 LOG.052013

ls -ld BackupPC/pc/archive
drwxrwxrwx. 2 backuppc backuppc 4096 May 11 08:26

My new network drive is a D-LINK DNS-320L.
The two 1 TB drives are set up as a redundant RAID-1,
and am using NFS to mount the share containing what
/var/lib/BackupPC is pointing to.  (This setup is identical to what
I was using successfuly iwth a WD MyBookworld 1TB non-RAID drive).

selinux is set as permissive.

Thanks,
Norm
