I'm not sure what this means - you seem to have installed BackupPC OK.

Do you actually have selinux in enforcing mode?
If so, I would have thought it would be sensible to turn it to permissive,

I'm reasonably certain if you applied all the suggestions that have been made

I had much the same problems as you getting BackupPC running.

In my experience BackupPC is very good indeed once it is set up.
But it is also rather difficult to set up, in both CentOS 6 and 7.
in my experience.
