Permission settings are correct, hardlinks are definitely working, there 
are plenty of inodes left, and still the logs tell me that my [c]pool is 
0.00GB  - what else could I look for?
How does backuppc determine the [c]pool size/disk usage? Ok, ok I should 
read the sources... ;-)
What I really don't get is that the host summary is correct:
 >>140 full backups of total size 11086.51GB (prior to pooling and 
compression)
