Same here. I noticed that backuppc always stopped at special files
(sockets, named pipes etc):

lastname=lib/gdm/.gdmfifo
The solution appears to be telling the remote rsync to pretty please
also transfer these special files:
| Conf{RsyncArgs} = [
| # original arguments here
| '--numeric-ids',
| '--perms',
| '--owner',
| '--group',
| '--devices',
| '--links',
| '--times',
| '--block-size=2048',
| '--recursive',
|
| # my args
| '--specials', # <-----------
| '--one-file-system'
| ];
HTH.
