Found the problem and its solution already as mentioned in my earlier post. The first time ssh creates and entry in known_host file, which was missing and hence the error.

The logs here are really not telling us anything except that it didn't work. Do you have any logs from the client side. I don't know why it is succeeding when run from the command line. But I would think that the logs from the client might give some great clues. >Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2008 01:11:32 +0530 >From: Anand Gupta anand...@gmail.com> >Subject: [BackupPC-users] problem with linux client >To: "General list for user discussion, questions and support" > backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net> >Message-ID: 49513eec.5020...@gmail.com> >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > > >I tried to add a linux client today to my test environment and this is >what i get in the logs > >Contents of file /backup/backups/pc/172.20.0.3/XferLOG.bad.z, modified >2008-12-24 00:44:07 (Extracting only Errors) > >full backup started for directory / >Running: /usr/bin/ssh -p 11000 -q -x -l root 172.20.0.3 /usr/bin/rsync >--server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links >--hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --ignore-times . / >Xfer PIDs are now 1373 >Read EOF: Connection reset by peer >Tried again: got 0 bytes >Done: 0 files, 0 bytes >Got fatal error during xfer (Unable to read 4 bytes) >Backup aborted (Unable to read 4 bytes) >Not saving this as a partial backup since it has fewer files than the >prior one (got 0 and 0 files versus 0) > > >On the console, i switched to backuppc user, and then ran the above >command without any errors. > >/usr/bin/ssh -p 11000 -q -x -l root 172.20.0.3 /usr/bin/rsync --server >--sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links >--times --block-size=2048 --recursive --ignore-times . / > >However i do not understand the above error.
