Ok, so for whatever reason the freenas hostname in our network doesn't
route to this IP, so I removed the alias and everything is working now
(after setting RsyncClientCmd to the correct path).
Thanks for helping me figure out where the problem was! I appreciate it!

Are you using the IP address 192.168.... and the host name (freenas)
interchangeably?
Try sshing into the client using both please. Even though it's the
same host, ssh doesn't treat it as such automatically I guess.

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

Here is the config for the client:
$Conf{ClientNameAlias} = [
'freenas'
];
$Conf{PingMaxMsec} = 300;
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
'/mnt/MandA-Server-Pool-1/Shop-Dataset'

$Conf{RsyncSshArgs} = [

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. On November 8, 2019 7:15:00 PM

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
