Okay I finally figured out what the issue was.
Apparently, it was an rsync over ssh issue where backuppc wasn't providing
the correct ssh commands so the connection was terminated immediately.
What I had to do was edit the per host config and enable the "RsyncSshArgs
override" and add the SSH port that my server uses to connect "$sshPath -p
6188 -q -x -l root"
After making this change it is now backing up the way it should and no more
errors.
Sorry to both but sometimes it helps to think out load.

Does it matter what rsync version is running on the client side?
I'm running rsync version 3.1.1 protocol version 31 on my Linux client.
I can SSH to it as backuppc user no problems just seems to be the rsync that
is the problem since upgrading to rsync-bpc-3.0.9.13.

See the other end's logs for clues for bad authentication, wrong share name
or something similar.
