You shouldn't set $Conf{CgiUserConfigEdit} in the per-pc config file.
It is a global setting.

It works for me. Did you set the XferMethod to "tar"? On the "Xfer"
tab the config editor only shows the settings for the selected xfer
method.

It's not a good idea to let users set executable paths, unless they
already have root access to their machine. Otherwise, if you have
ssh setup to run as root on the client, then the user could set this
path to anything they want.

--link is the default. You should try --copy-links. I looked at the
rsync source code briefly and it should work with File::RsyncP.
It appears to be implemented in a way that is transparent to
the existing protocol (ie: doesn't need support on the receiver
side).

I don't understand the issue. Exactly one BackupPC_trashClean should
be started by one BackupPC daemon. Perhaps they were left over by
a previous daemon (although they should get killed when the daemon
exits)?
