The client shouldn't run backuppc.

The client also needs to be able to access all the BackupPC configuration files, executables, log files, and TOPDIR tree with the same directory paths as on the server. So you need to NFS export the relevant directories on the server to the client, and either mount them at the matching directories on the client, or use symlinks from those directories on the client to any other NFS mount point.
