I know companies still have it around. Our company has 100's of these
systems and I am still happy I no longer need to deal with them. The reason
your .hushlogin doesn't work is because your system is in enhanced security
mode (which forces all that security mumbo jumbo to display). I think your
stuck and as for attitudes yours isn't one that inspires people to spend
time trying to support a marginal OS from a company that has a poor track
record with the open source world.
I assume from your encryption comment that your either dealing with a public
network or you don't trust your fellow employees. So your probably
unwilling to relax your security. This means short of inspiring someone to
hold your hand through a code fix or outright getting someone to do it for
you your options are limited. You could try setting rsync as the login
shell, but I don't know if that will work or eliminate the extraneous
messages. The other thing you could do is setup a vpn to do your security
and run rsync in daemon mode.
Your casting of stones at the architecture of BackupPC is in incredibly poor
taste given your demonstrated level of skill. For your information BackupPC
does not send full and partial backups in the sense of traditional backup
software. The full and incremental terms are overloaded with BackupPC's
concepts. A full backup will examine every file and transfer only the bits
that change. An incremental backup will only examine files that have
differing timestamps from the last lower level backup and only send the
pieces that have changed. If you want filled on disk images then simply do
all full backups. This will create more server/client load but not
appreciably more network load or server disk consumption (but beware you
will use up nodes at a much steeper rate).

Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances
and start using them to simplify application deployment and
accelerate your shift to cloud computing.
