Sorry about the delay in replying. I don't have a theory about why the link should fail. The path name length should be ok. However, when the link fails, BackupPC_dump tries to create a full regular file (not linked) instead. That error recovery doesn't work either. That could be because of a bug or because the same problem that caused the link to fail also caused the regular file write to fail. Something strange is going on, but I don't have a good suggestion for debugging this further. Could there be some resource that your system is short of during this backup? This weekend I'll look at the code to see if I can add some debug statements that might give us more clues (eg: errno might reveal something).
