You described setting up several keys and editing something after
copying the public key that I didn't quite follow. The only thing
relevant here is that you have exactly the contents of the public key
you created as the backuppc user on the server in
/root/.ssh/authorized_keys2 on the client. The files and directory
above should also only be readable by the owners for all of these.
Repeating your test with -v on the ssh command line might show something
you've missed.
