Sorry, no rsyncd involved. I'm backing up as UID 0 over an ssh
connection.

Let me start by taking a wild guess and assume you are using
rsyncd. The system your are backing up is *nix based and you don't
have a uid=0, gid=0 in your module definition for /etc/rsyncd.conf.
If that's all true (or maybe at least most of it), then the system
is working as designed, but not how you intended. "rsync" sets
uid=gid=-2 when placed in daemon mode. This means that it can only
read or write things readable/writable by the user "nobody". Trust
me, its for your own protection :-)
The file that is showing up in your list is world "readable" while
all the others aren't. Check your Xferlogs and you should see a
bunch of permissions errors (number 13 appears on those lines). Go
fix your rsyncd.conf, restart the daemon, and take a fresh backup of
all the affected systems as their current backups are dubius at
best. I believe that all the files that were backed up are
perfectly fine as rsync captures the permissions and BackupPC stores
them in the "attrib" files sprinkled throughout your backup archive
directory structure. If its not this, then please provide some more
details surrounding your configuation (config.pl, [host].pl,
rsyncd.conf, all properly scrubbed for passwords and hostname
details).
I would also suggest that you get a chance to excersize the recovery
functions so that you know how they work and that they do in fact
work. Without the uid=0 you would have been unable to restore files
with the proper owner/group/perms (they would have come back as user
"nobody" I believe). Don't forget to set the "read only = false"
for the module when you intend to restore.
