Hi,
backuppc rotates the client logfiles in the first night of the month.
But clients that are configured to not do any regular backups
($Conf{FullPeriod} < 0) and didn't do any manually triggered backups
don't produce any log entries, so rotating the logs is superfluous.
I attach a one line patch that skips the rotate if the logfile is empty.

Hi !
With the Debian Lenny release, the bug you reported is related to a
package version not supported by Debian anymore, so I close this bug.
