I had BackupPC installed on Jan 20 this year. It has been 
running successfully, backing up the host and two clients 
for a week now. Yesterday the 9th it was updated and now 
does not run.
INSTALL HISTORY
# less /var/log/yum.* | grep BackupPC
Jan 20 14:58:46 Installed: BackupPC.noarch 3.0.0-3.fc7
Feb 09 17:51:53 Updated: BackupPC.noarch 3.1.0-1.fc7
Feb 09 22:50:17 Erased: BackupPC

ERROR OUTPUT
# /etc/init.d/backuppc start
Starting BackupPC: 2008-02-10 10:25:56 Can't create a test 
hardlink between a file in /data/bilbo/backup/BackupPC/pc 
and /data/bilbo/backup/BackupPC/cpool.  Either these are 
different file systems, or this file system doesn't support 
hardlinks, or these directories don't exist, or there is a 
permissions problem, or the file system is out of inodes or 
full.  Use df, df -i, and ls -ld to check each of these 
possibilities. Quitting...
END OUTPUT

The device an external USB disk, formatted as ext3, is only 
10% full. I then did as suggested in the error output and 
found no issues with permissions or inodes. To confirm this 
I entered a shell as user backuppc and created a file under 
the folder /........./BackupPC/pc/ and then hardlinked under 
/......../BackupPC/ on the external disk.

When I run:
bash-3.2$ /usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_dump -v -f bagend
Can't connect to server (unix connect: Connection refused)

Where do I go from here?
