The problem has been solved thanks to Craig:

- by examining the XferLOG, an error was found in the $Conf{TarClientCmd}:

> Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -n -l root server3 env LC_ALL=C /bin/tar
> -c -v -f - -C / --exclude=./\*tmp --exclude=./proc
> --exclude=./opt/install --exclude=./data/install
> --exclude=./data/profiles --exclude=./var/tmp --exclude=./\*old\*
> --exclude=./\*unused\* --exclude=./data/install
> --exclude=./data/profiles ./etc ./var/backups ./var/spool/cron ./root
> ./secure ./srv/www/htdocs/ ./disk2/backups/backup.mysqlhotcopy
> ./disk2/backups/backup.sql/ ./data

"This command is missing the --totals argument.  The final
total summary is what BackupPC uses to conclude the backup
finished correctly.
So add --totals to $Conf{TarClientCmd} and it should work fine."

I'm not sure how I managed to delete that, but perhaps a tip for
general troubleshooting is to compare the relevant config.pl with an
original, so you can really see what has been changed from the
defaults.
For example my checking config.pl into RCS now and again ('ci -l config.pl').

Regards,

Sean
