I was hoping to hear a better reply before piping up.  I get that
whenever I use rsync option and attempt to copy either a socket or a
FIFO. So I have wound up putting the name of all such files I
encounter in my exclude list.

It seems like backuppc should not be attempting to read socket of
fifo data, but maybe there aren't any options in rsync to prevent
this. Am I missing something?

Thanks a lot for your help!  I poked around the rsync manpage and found the following option:

       --specials
              This option causes rsync to transfer special files such as named
              sockets and fifos.

I plugged that into my $Conf{RsyncArgs} and the machine has started to complete its backups.

Again, thanks for your help and if you're ever in Houghton, MI give me a ring, I owe you a drink.
