I think by default the backuppc user doesn't own /var/lib/backuppc/ 
which can cause some problems.

Try this:
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/backuppc/.ssh
sudo chown -R backuppc /var/lib/backuppc/.ssh
sudo chgrp -R backuppc /var/lib/backuppc/.ssh

That will just attempt to create the directory (which probably already 
exists, but just in case), and then sets the owner and group on that 
directory plus all files/folders below it.

Try again to manually run the command again.

  $ ssh -l root cableweb3.ca whoami
