I havnt been able to do any backups of this box since. I get the
following error in the xfer.log:
Got fatal error during xfer (fileListReceive failed)

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

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.
You could also replace --devices with -D which also covers --specials.
