Hello,

I recently upgraded my server's motherboard twice in rapid succession. After 
the first upgrade, things were hunky-dory. After the second, backuppc refuses 
to, well, backup any PCs.

I have three clients, two of which are rsyncd types, and the other of which is 
tar type on the server (localhost). All three fail. I've attached sample logs 
at the end of this message.

So far I have tried the following tests:

Test: Running BackupPC_dump -v
Result: Fails. Logs attached.

Test: Running tar command (as called by BackupPC) directly.
Result: succeeds

Test: Running rsync command directly
Result: succeeds

Test: Using "clean slate," i.e. masking all old backups so that backuppc 
doesn't check the pool, etc.
Results: fails identically to BackupPC_dump -v, only faster.

Test: Reinstall backuppc, perl, etc.
Result: backups still fail

I'm using BackupPC 2.1.2 on Ubuntu Dapper.

Any ideas on what's going wrong?

Thanks,
Jason

Log from tar-type backupp. Note that the exact amount of data that is 
successfully transfer varies greatly (up to ~9 GB), and sometimes it exits with 
error 13 rather than error 512.
