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).
