 The backup repeatedly stalls after backing up:
.file_store_32/runescape/main_file_cache.dat1
 and in the middle (presumably) of backing up:
.file_store_32/runescape/main_file_cache.dat2
 This occurs only about a dozen files into the backup.

I found this to be a bug with rsync launched from ssh. Even outside of
Backuppc we consistently found problems with rsync tunneled inside of
ssh. We would've liked to use ssh to encrypt all of our backups, but
ended up going with the straight rsyncd instead, which has worked
great.

I guess what I don't understand is why it works when I manually run
rsync over ssh.

The only difference that I can see is that when I run it manually I
don't use the --server --sender flags but instead use rsync
root@target.
