Now that I solved the problem, I'll share what the problem was. The problem
was that the Windows 7 client did not have a password for the user. I added a
password, enabled password-less login (so the user wouldn't freak out with the
password all the time), entered the password into backuppc, and the backup is
now running.
Perhaps, someone can make a note in the documentation that client user
accounts must have a password in order for backuppc to work?
Many thanks for the help,
Mark
