I have the same thing with Debian Sarge. My USB drive is not mounted at boot.
I just added the following to my backuppc init.d script under the start) line:
#check if the External USB drive is mounted and if not mount it
if [ -z "`mount |grep backuppc`" ]
then
`mount /var/lib/backuppc`
echo "mounted /var/lib/backuppc"
else
echo "/var/lib/backuppc already mounted"
fi
so that way backuppc will always mount the USB hard drive before it starts.
cheers
