I guess you have two paths to follow. You can directly make backuppc access your files, which is what you are doing, then backuppc user must have read acces to all files and read/execute access to all directories. You can do this adding backuppc user to the groups that own those directories, and giving the read/execute access to the group. Somebody once send some tips for using sudo to do this, I think you can try that if you are familiar with sudo. Another approach, which I think is easier, is to treat your localhost as a remote host, and do the backup using rsync+ssh, or tar+ssh.
