The problem is that BackupPC needs to run BackupPC_nightly
each night.  New backups are not started when BackupPC_nightly
is pending.

No.  Only a single BackupPC_link can run at a time.
Multiple BackupPC_dumps can run at the same time.

For the next release I plan to decouple BackupPC_dump
and BackupPC_restore from BackupPC_nightly, which will
solve your problem.
