I had a similar problem. What fixed it for me was: 1) Stop the Backuppc service: /etc/init.d/backuppc stop (if you have init.d scripts working) 2) eval `ssh-agent` 3) ssh-add (and then type password at prompt) 4) Start Backuppc: /etc/init.d/backuppc start
You need to start Backuppc from the same shell that you run ssh-agent from and after you run ssh-agent so that it can pick up the necessary hooks. If Backuppc is already running when you run ssh-agent then it won't work.
