you may have missed this setting in "visudo"..... Defaults requiretty ....you need to comment that out also. You should also limit what the backuppc user run, by saying ALL you let it run all commands. If you get specific you can set it up so that it can only be used for restores. See the link below for an example of sudo and tar. http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/ssh.html#how_can_client_access_as_root_be_avoided If your still having trouble post the relevant parts of your config files and logs.
