Backuppc uninstall problem

OK.  Adding the user back solved the problem temporarily.  The only 
thing is that I do want to reemove the user.  If I am correct, it is 
not a good idea to leave around unneccessary user accounts that take 
upp space and lower security.  Plus, its a "peace of mind" kinda thing.

Anyway.  Any ideas on how I might remove the user without running into 
problems?
