That's normal. Your search PATH for executables does not include the
current directory by default.

Again, normal and expected... You need to run as the correct user.

OK, now that you are the backuppc user, you need to direct the output
to a location where the backuppc user has permission to create a file.
If you don't have one, as root create a directory to hold it on a
filesystem with space and 'chown backuppc /path/to/dir'.

And that's the same thing as before. Give the full path to the
program or use ./ if it is in your current directory.
