Sorry about the poor documentation for BackupPC_serverMesg, but in most
cases you should use the same argument for host and hostIP. So try this
instead:
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg backup humppa humppa backuppc 1

Running backuppc 3.3.0-2+deb8u1 on Debian GNU/Linux 8.8 Jessie.
Used command
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg backup 192.168.42.2 humppa
backuppc 1
to force full backup.
The request appears in the log but seems to have no effect.
