The worst thing about BackupPC is the insane error message "Unable to read 4 bytes", which comes up if anything is wrong. Possibly the worst error message anywhere?
thats an rsync protocol message, and yeah, debugging connection/authentication issues is a bit ugly.

It's not ugly, it is inexcusable.
