Is rsync running as root on the client side? If not, it won't have
permission to chown files to root. An example setting would be:
$Conf{RsyncClientPath} = 'sudo /usr/bin/rsync';
This requires the backuppc user to have sudo privileges. You should
exercise some caution in doing this, since a successful attack on the
BackupPC server gives unlimited access to the clients.
