I must have run into something similar at some point, as I have additional notes where I copied the .pub file to a location readable by backuppc and then used the ssh-copy-id command with that version of the file.

We have a older 3.3 version that is running, but this is a new install on a new box. I can't seem to find anything. I think the host key verification is the clue. Should i be able to login into the client from the server as backuppc? Currently no passwd is set on that account so i can't ssh to the client and accept the figure print.
