I let the problem host get up to 8 days without a backup before I realized we had a problem and I had to start manually queueing a backup every couple days. Backuppc appeared to be grabbing whatever was at the top of the queue, not whatever had the least-recent last backup. Now that I'm no longer on MaxBackups=1, most backups are completed early in the day so by the time I get to my desk the Current Queue is mostly empty, and harder to observe what its behaviour is.
