I have a pretty good inclination as to why that's the case. If I recall correctly, the BackupPC_Admin cgi interface has setuid permissions that allow it only to be run by the backuppc user. It's recommended that you run your webserver as the backuppc user rather than a separate webserver user (nobody, apache, www, etc) for that purpose and to avoid any conflicts. What changes have you made to allow your server to run as a different user?
