Well I did have ServerAliveInterval set. And as I mentioned, a parallel
ssh session was still up, even when backuppc/rsync reported a timeout/EOF:

Running: /usr/bin/ssh -C -o ServerAliveInterval=15 -q -x -l user host

I realize that, but the comparison doesn't seem to be happening in this
case, or is it?

Whereas I see a pattern like this for most other backups:

same
pool
same
…

This one – the failing one – is always listing "pool" or "create" maybe,
but not a single time do I see a "same".
