Can you see how many hardlinks are on this file: /backup/BackupPC/pc/burdata01lx_home/3/f%2fhome_snapshot/f<1>/f<2>/f<3>/f<4>/f<5>/f<6>/f<7>/f<8>/f6304847_1.txt or any of the other failed files. It's possible that this file is at the hardlink limit (maybe 32000 depending upon the file system). If so, this confirms this is a known BackupPC bug that is fixed (but not yet in CVS or released).
