I had this happen to me. In my case, I had an old version of File::RsyncP. If you go to cpan and type 'install File::RsyncP', it will tell you if you are up to date or not. The older protocol (v.66 I think) had a bug in it. I recall the new version is v.68 or v.69.
Adjusting the timeout will not change whether the protocol has locked up. It'll just delay how long it waits before killing the backup. One other thing to look for: I actually had TWO versions of Perl installed on my machine, which made troubleshooting harder. CPAN would update one, but BackupPC was using the other, so even though I thought I had updated, I really had not. Try to locate all the copies of perl on your system and make sure you only have one.
