I've installed Ubuntu 14.04 server with backuppc version 3.3.0-1ubuntu1 
into clean virtual machine. Rsync xfer method worked good there (without 
described issues). So I've used backuppc_3.3.0-1ubuntu1_i386.deb to 
update my backuppc server and the issues are gone, rsync xfer method 
work as expected. Thank you all for your help!
