Thanks again!
Again, I do not know why this changed. Removed the entry on the host and
let the default settings settle in.
Thanks!

The other thing that I noticed is that your rsync args is missing the
option:
--protect-args
This may be important to BackupPC's operation. It is recommended that
you not change the rsync arguments from their default in the supplied
config.pl
I was guilty of modifying the defaults and it took me three months to
clear the backups of deleted data across four backup disks.
