Hangs?  Is this a network problem?

I don't understand what you are trying to do there.   Can you explain
where you are  when you issue that command and where you expect the
parts to execute?  I assume you want the output of BackupPC_tarCreate
on the backuppc server piped into a tar extract (which probably needs
to run as root) on the host you are restoring, but that command won't
do it.
