generally, it's a good idea to mention what your problem is first. Nobody likes trying to guess your issue from what your log file says. How about simply putting > [My] backups appear intact and correct.

There *are* recent versions which actually support this, but likely you're not using one of those. If you aren't, you should look at http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/backuppc/index.php?title=Change_archive_directory > I've googled and read all sorts about there being issues with xfs, Really? I've been following the list for quite some time, and I don't recall anything of this sort, while there have been hundreds of threads dealing with problems with changing TopDir. Actually, just googling for "BackupPC_link got error -4" will point you in the right direction if you read through the first few hits.

Reading and creating files works, linking consistently fails, so the FS is corrupt? I don't know how good xfs_repair is, but I'd be *very* careful about *repairing* any FS I'm not absolutely sure is actually corrupt. 'fsck' should be a safe start, though it probably won't do anything on an XFS the FS driver hasn't detected any corruption on.
