Did it list which keys it tried? It should identify the filename it is
trying. Are you sure your SSH keys have the right permissions and are
owned by the backuppc user, in the right location?

Perhaps some successful debug output will help you. See attached, which
is me SSH'ing as backuppc from my server gozer to client frances.
