Look at your /etc/ssh/sshd_config
You may have, for example, PermitRootLogin set to no (I think it is now the

Any way, for ssh backups you only need ssh between backupc users on both
machines if you follow
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/ssh.html#how_can_client_access_as_root_be_avoided
Hope it helps
