First: I've been an happy user for years. Thank you. My installation stopped working, long story short it was because I had added --xattr to the rsync parameter list. The fact that it failed was bad, but not as bad as the complete lack of meaningful error messages which led me to think the culprit was a recent update of perl packages. I append the log at the end of this mail.
I found an old message in the users mailing list saying that xattr/acls are not supported, however they shouldn't kill backuppc. Maybe it could be shown as a warning if found in the config?
