Make sure the ssh key is available to the user that is running backuppc 
(not root).

eg, su -s /bin/bash backuppc
ssh root@clientname id

Make sure clientname is exactly the same as configured in backuppc, from 
the above that would be cableweb3.ca

Also make sure you get NOTHING other than "root" on a single line.
