presuming I had a new enough version of rsync for the man page to include an
explanation of what '--prune-empty-dirs' does, I'd probably be asking, why
you would want to use that.
Generally speaking, you can't just add any option your client side rsync
might support. Some options might work, some might be silently ignored,
others will break things. Is '--prune-empty-dirs' a request to the server
side rsync process (modifying the file list) or to the client side
(File::RsyncP in this case), or does it even affect the protocol exchange
between both? File::RsyncP is known not to support all rsync options, much
less recent extensions.

This seems to indicate you are not running the latest version of
File::RsyncP. Which version are you running?

This does not seem to agree with your config file.

Are you sure your --include and --exclude options are compatible with what
BackupPC generates? Are '--include=**/' and '--prune-empty-dirs' compatible?
