I do:  Check dmesg for problems and fsck your filesystem.

Generally, when I see this it's due to filesystem corruption of one sort 
or another.  On *some* filesystems, like reiserfs or xfs, it's possible 
to pass fsck and still have subtle corruption exposed when BackuPC 
traverses the filesystem.  If the drive is failing or the inode 
corruption is bad enough, it may not be possible to recover the 
filesystem at all.
