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!

So, I poked around in my cpool directory, and found that some of the
sub dirs were owned by root - though I have no good explanation as to
why. So, I changed ownership recursively to backuppc for the whole
cpool directory. Trying to run a backup again still produces a bunch
of errors like this:
2008-02-27 13:57:43 BackupPC_link got error -4 when calling
MakeFileLink(/mnt/plump/backuppc/pc/192.168.0.8/4/f%2fUsers%2fkathy/
attrib, 9b72d3224906bb9adaa6197f0bfe6f37, 1)
So, is this error complaining that it could not write to the pc
directory, or to the cpool dir? Should I be looking in the pc
directory more carefully?
Thanks!
