Just installed 10.04 LTS on a new box and had the exact same problem.
The following seems to fix this error.
In the localhost.pl file located in /etc/backuppc change the
tarClientCmd from
$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '/usr/bin/env LC_ALL=C $tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName'
. ' --totals';
to
$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '/usr/bin/sudo $tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName
--totals';
in the sudoers file located in /etc add the following
backuppc ALL = NOPASSWD: /bin/tar
I am assuming you are still using the default user "backuppc" and this
will allow backuppc to run sudo in the /bin/tar directory without a
password.
Seemed to work ok for me.
