Be sure the backuppc hosts entry does not have the 'DHCP' option set
(uncheck it if you use 'edit hosts' in the web screen). If it is set,
backuppc will try to use nmblook to find it, which won't work unless you
happen to have samba running with the same netbios name. Otherwise it
should be running the program configured as PingPath and it should get
the same result you get running that command as the backuppc user.

This usually means that you don't have the ssh keys right. Test it from
the server, running as the backuppc user, execute:
ssh -l root scn-ws6 id
and you should get a response back with no password prompt.
