I too am running Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 with an XP client.
Have a look at my config files. It took me some time
to figure this all out. This is what works for me.
My XP is Pro but the difference here should not
matter.
/var/etc/backuppc/pc/client/config.pl
##Rsyncd for XP
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['C', 'D'];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} =
['/$ntservicepackuninstall$', '/Documents and
Settings/*/Local Settings', '/RECYCLER', 'System
Volume Information', '/pagefile.sys', 'Temp',
'*/Temp', '*/temp'];
$Conf{RsyncdUserName} = 'backuppc';
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = '****';
$Conf{XferLogLevel} = 9
C:\rsyncd\rsyncd.conf
hosts allow = 192.168.1.10
use chroot = false
log file = c:\rsyncd\rsyncd.log
pid file = c:\rsyncd\rsyncd.pid
lock file = c:\rsyncd\rsyncd.lock
strict modes = false
auth users = backuppc
secrets file = c:\rsyncd\rsyncd.secrets
read only = false
list = false

[D]
