Using Rsyncd with Backuppc gives permission errors, why?

I'm setting up Backuppc on Ubuntu 10.10. I installed rsyncd, configured backuppc and ran my first full backup. Mostly everything worked, but a lot of files did not get copied. When I look at the backup errors, I see a lot of:

Remote[1]: rsync: opendir "/home/jean/.evolution/memos/local" (in backup) failed: Permission denied (13)
Remote[1]: rsync: opendir "/home/jean/.evolution/tasks/local" (in backup) failed: Permission denied (13)

Remote[1]: rsync: opendir "/home/jean/.gnome2" (in backup) failed: Permission denied (13)

rsync is running as root, so I don't understand why it can't read these files? At least, I'm pretty sure it's running
as root, I followed the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync to set it up. As a test, I
attempted to rsync manually, and while it was prompting for the password, I did a 'ps -ef|grep rsy' in another
terminal. It showed 'root' as the owner of the 'rsync --daemon' process.

One possible clue, when I spot checked some of the files that were skipped the permissions for group & other were empty, ie, :

jean@Ubuntu:~/.evolution$ ls -l memos

drwx------ 3 jean jean 4096 2008-11-27 20:58 local

I'm stumped, any help appreciated.

Thanks.
