Marki,
When I say "to the client from the server" I mean that am initiating SSH
and Rsync from the BackupPC server to the backup client.
I agree that it makes no sense, that's why I'm stumped and I'm writing you.
Here's an ssh into the backup client:
# su backuppc
[backuppc@piholeserver nilix]$ ssh root@192.168.14.149

Here is an rsync from the BackupPC server, copying a file from the
client onto the server:
[backuppc@piholeserver ~]$ rsync
root@192.168.14.149:/mnt/MandA-Server-Pool-1/Shop-Dataset/xkcd/h
ard_reboot.png ./
[backuppc@piholeserver ~]$ ls
dead.letter hard_reboot.png
Here is the config for the client:
$Conf{ClientNameAlias} = [
'freenas'
];
$Conf{PingMaxMsec} = 300;
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
'/mnt/MandA-Server-Pool-1/Shop-Dataset'
];
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';
$Conf{RsyncSshArgs} = [
'-e',
'$sshPath -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa -l root'
];
$Conf{XferLogLevel} = 5;
And lastly, here is the log from the failed XFER

You write "to the client from the server". You probably mean from the
client to the server.
Also, the host key of the server is stored in known_hosts, it's not
the same as the identity key used for auth. Read up on ssh.
I makes no sense to fail when you run it via backuppc when it does not
fail when run manually.
Probably you are not describing exactly what you do therefore could
you please post output from your console session with the appropriate
errors.
It's not an actual backuppc problem.

Hi Marki,
I'm running both as the same user, backuppc, who has the appropriate
id_rsa in ~/.ssh/

users, I am coming to you guys with a problem I've been having
trying to set up a client backup with the Rsync method and an
SSH key. I am able to SSH and Rsync to the client from the
server on the command line using the SSH key, and the server
is in the client's known_hosts file. But when doing a backup,
the transfer always fails with the error "host key
verficiation failed." RsyncSshArgs is: ['-e', '$sshPath -i
~/.ssh/id_rsa -l root'] Is there a secret argument I'm not
passing? If it helps, the BackupPC server is an RPi3 running
Void Linux, and the Client to backup is running FreeNAS 11.
Cheers, Derek
