Turns out this seems to be an error caused by the Fedora package
changing the value of $useFHS to 1 on the upgrade. Hence, BackupPC
was looking in new locations for the config files.
Moving all of the configs that had been working while located at
$s->{ConfDir}/pc/$host/config.pl to $s->{ConfDir}/pc/$host.pl
seems to have fixed everything.
