Replying to my own message here. I looked closer at my logs and noticed
that I had rebooted the backuppc server (kernel update) at least a day
before the admin oddities started showing in the logs, and that
BackupPC_nightly had run ok the night after the reboot.

I tried re-installing backuppc (leaving the data pool alone), and even
running BackupPC_nightly from the command line which ran with no errors.
Still the errors in the log and still the pool size reported as zero.

I stopped backuppc, ran a fsck which came up clean, and decided to
reboot as a last resort. Last night everything was normal.
