Is there a real error shown in the log file? If not, it could
just be a problem with the exit status of tar on the mac.
Perhaps it's a minor error (eg: can't read a file) that
causes an exit status that makes BackupPC think the backup
failed.
You could run this command manually (substituting the variables):
$sshPath -q -x -n -l root $host $tarPath -c -v -f - -C / > /dev/null
and then print the exit status (echo $status in tcsh).
