Well, this doesn't appear to work. Here's what the syslog says:

Jan 19 13:53:30 scrat bbackupd[7370]: Starting daemon (config: 
/opt/local/etc/box/bbackupd.conf) (version 0.09)
Jan 19 13:53:30 scrat bbackupd[7370]: Beginning scan of local files
Jan 19 13:53:30 scrat bbackupd[7370]: Opening connection to server 
localhost...
Jan 19 13:53:30 scrat bbackupd[7370]: Exception caught (7/30), reset 
state and waiting to retry...

Is there any way I can get more debug information from bbackupd that 
will tell me what's going wrong? The ExtendedLogging option doesn't 
seem to change the output at all (probably because it hasn't connected 
yet).

Any ideas? Suggestions?
