Actually, I may have answered my own question somewhat:
It appears (based on my reading of a message here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg09017.html
) that my pool is hosed.
Specifically, my cpool directory has several gigs of data in it,
but my "pool" directory is completely empty. Consequently, when
it attempts to create the cpool directory, the creation fails as
the dir already exists (I'm just guessing here).
So, what exactly is the relationship between the cpool and pool
directory? How safe is it (I assume NOT safe at all) to remove
the contents of cpool?
Pool is used if you don't have compression enabled, cpool if you do.
Whichever is used must be on the same filesystem as the pc directory
tree so that hardlinks work between them. If you are getting errors
making the links, check that you have space (df) and inodes
available (df -i), and that the directory is writable by the
backuppc user.
Hmm....Something is definitely up with my inodes:

I notice that all my disks that are ReiserFS do not list any inode
info at all... is ReiserFS the problem, then? Should I change the
backuppc disk to be ext3?
/mnt/plump is a 500GB disk that is dedicated as the backuppc disk.
The home dir for backuppc user is /mnt/plump/backuppc, and that is all
that is on the disk. Mount shows this:
/dev/sdd1 on /mnt/plump type reiserfs (rw,noatime,nodiratime)
Further, df -h shows:
/dev/sdd1 466G 310G 157G 67% /mnt/plump
So, the disk is nowhere near full.
Thanks!
