Ahhh, that would make sense (I guess as still learning Linux).  I installed 
Debian on one smallish sized drive using ext3, tested backupPC, decided to 
go further but needed to add additional drive space.  In doing so I ran 
across a couple comments somewhere about using ReiserFS instead of ext2 or 
ext3.  I installed the second drive and formatted it with ReiserFS.  I moved 
the /var/lib/backuppc/pc to the second drive and symbolic linked it.  I will 
try moving the cpool to the same drive and symbolic link that one as well.

I am open to any better suggestions or any thoughts about partition types to 
use.  Luckily I have not gotten far so I can always redo things if 
necessary.

Thanks Craig, I really appreciate your feedback and assistance on this.

This might mean you are out of hardlinks (use df -i to check)
or that /var/lib/backuppc/pc/clientname is on a different
filesystem than /var/lib/backuppc/cpool (use:

    df /var/lib/backuppc/pc/clientname
    df /var/lib/backuppc/cpool

to check).
