Probably you have a syntax error or permissions error on one of your 
config files. First check the backuppc user has read access to 
everything in your config directory.
Secondly, run perl -cw config.pl (run perl and check/compile the file 
without executing it) and repeat for each of the other config files. Do 
"ls -lrt" (list and sort by modification time, with the most recently 
modified at the bottom) and focus on the files that were modified most 
recently.

Otherwise, try
su - -s /bin/bash backuppc
Then start backuppc manually:
/usr/lib/backuppc/bin/BackupPC

You might at least get more information/error messages. Worst case, try 
strace /usr/lib/backuppc/bin/BackupPC and post the output.

Hope this helps.

Adam
