Let's go through this step by step.

1. What's your $Conf{RsyncClientCmd} set to?
2. Become user backuppc and try to run the ssh-part of that command. It
should look similar to this:
  ssh -q -x -l root host1
-> you should be logged into host1 without any prompt for password or
similar
3. try (still as user backuppc)
   ssh -q -x -l root host1 /bin/true
-> this command should output absolutely nothing and just return
4. try starting a full backup for host1

-> if anything fails, send the logfile for that host.

BTW: I suppose you're using the rsync over ssh method to backup your
hosts?

HTH,

Tino.
