It is trying to change the ownership from root (who is running configure.pl)
to the BackupPC user. The strange thing is that many chown() calls prior
to this were successful.
Does init.d/gentoo-backuppc.conf exist? (The path is relative to the
unpacked release - ie: the place you ran configure.pl from.) What
happens when you manually try to chown it, eg:
sudo chown 1000:1000 init.d/gentoo-backuppc.conf
