This all looks fine.  What are the permissions on

    /mnt/backup/conf/config.pl

Now try this:

    su backuppc
    /var/www/cgi-bin/BackupPC

Do you get a full html page, or just html with the "Unable to read" error?
If that works, but apache does not, then it must be something to do
with the apache configuration.  I don't have the apache docs handy;
might it be doing a chroot?

Perhaps you could add some lines to your printenv script

    ls -l /
    ls -l /mnt/backup/conf/config.pl
    wc /mnt/backup/conf/config.pl
