Hi Ryan,
I can think of a few things to check here :

1) When you start the backup, what is displayed in Webmin exactly?
2) Is there any record in /var/log/secure or /var/log/authlog on the
remote system indicating that the source system is actually logging in?
3) When the backup is running, what dump or tar processes can you see
running?
