I don't use SElinux, but from what I've read on this list, I'd look at the man
page for 'restorecon'.

Neither do I, but my impression is that with something as invasive as SElinux,
you *should* try to get to know as much about it as possible, if you choose to
use it. At least this much: if you've got a problem with access permissions,
there's not only UNIX file permissions to consider, there's also the layer of
SElinux mandatory access control.
There must be a reason at least some major distributions ship with SElinux
turned off by default. And: it's not by chance I asked whether you are running
SElinux. It's just the first thing that springs to mind with such problems,
because many people before you have made the same mistake.

Well, that's the *good thing* about mandatory access control. If you're not
allowed to see it, there's nothing there. As far as BackupPC_Admin is
concerned, there's just an empty directory - actually, I'm surprised it even
sees the directory; I would have expected it to see an empty $TopDir.
And that's exactly the message you get. Empty directory. BackupPC_Admin
doesn't know *why* the directory is empty. It's not as if it gets an error
code "there's something there, but you're not allowed to see it" when
attempting the access.
