Well the whole thing is a test system, and I'm not that concerned with
figuring out what went wrong vs moving forward, so I guess I'll just wipe
and restart with a clean OS.

Since I want to use the BackupPC 3.1 package (eventual production system
will be on CentOS5), while I'm at it I'll use the Ubuntu version it's
designed for, Lucid 10.04, rather than the latest Natty 11.04.

Hopefully will eliminate the problems I'm seeing un/re- installing from
the package system.

I plan to keep the pool folders and of course my long-tweaked config.pl, but
will start off from the clean install with as close to defaults as possible
with a small static target share to test with, then make the changes a
little at a time only after I've got the basics working right.

Which as you say I should've done from the start. . .

In the meantime there are a few unanswered questions in the thread above if
anyone has the information to  ontribute more detailed responses I'm sure it
will help others googling later on. . .
