That's right.  However, the reason that the default is fatal is
that it really might be a problem that no files were dumped:

    2005-10-16 15:16:56 full backup started for directory /var/mail
    2005-10-16 15:16:58 Got fatal error during xfer (No files dumped for share 
/var/mail)

Normally /var/mail should have files.  Or perhaps it is a symlink
somewhere else.  You should look at the XferLOG file to see exactly
what commands are being run and why BackupPC thinks there are no
files to be backed up.
