You must remember that by default BackupPC runs as user backuppc with limited access.  You could use sudo over SSH for local backups.

i.e. $Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '/usr/bin/sudo $rsyncPath $argList+';

Awesome!  This worked.  Now I just have one more question: since I'm
backing up localhost here, it's a bit of a waste to use ssh as the
transport method.  Can I just use:

$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$rsyncPath $argList+';

instead of:

$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l root $host $rsyncPath $argList+';

???  Thanks!
