Just to report backup and close this out, I installed backuppc without making any changes to the permissions of my pre-created directory /var/lib/backuppc and the install went fine. Backuppc took over ownership from root and sub-directories were created within it. David wrote > Within the /var/lib/backuppc hierarchy I see backuppc as both owner and > group.

However I don't have backuppc as a "normal" user, e.g. he cannot login as a normal user can. This is not a problem, just making the comment.
