I am getting an error when trying to backup a Windows XP client. The following snippet from a terminal session shows it does not get far:

************End of Log*****************
I have tried giving backuppc system admin privileges to no avail. Hopefully someone has a solution. I'm beat.
Additional Info: I don't have ssh keys since the documentation says that Rsyncd does not use them (SSH Setup on page 13 of 57 in
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html). This may be an error on my part. I would appreciate correction and instruction on where to put them on a Windows XP client.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
