Not sure why this should happen. It's just copying a tree of directories that contain one empty file, so that shouldn't be a problem.
I'd recommend manually running BackupPC_backupDuplicate as the BackupPC user with $Conf{XferLogLevel} set to 5. First make sure a backup isn't running on localhost. Then: su backuppc_user /usr/local/bin/BackupPC_backupDuplicate -h localhost You should see one line of output for each file/directory it encounters. That should allow you to see where it stalls or fails.
