Thank you for your response Craig. I took a step back and reevalutated how I was doing this and I think my issues all were a result of user accounts and various system level restrictions. I'm sure we could've picked our way through that but since this is just a home lab, I'm being a bit lazy. After a great deal of user setup/key copying/visudo modifications/user SID changes/etc, I seemed no closer to a solution. I did notice that by default backuppc targets the root user and, while I understand it's not always best practice to use the root user since this is a home lab setup, I just went with it. By adding the backuppc user key to the root user on the target machine and adding a line for root to be able to run rsync via visudo, the backups worked as expected.
