You might also consider upgrading your kernel to 2.6.18.

I use BackupPC with an external USB HD.  With the 2.6.17 the usb
subsystem would choke before a full backup would complete.  By "choke"
I mean that 'ps' would show a 'D' state for all USB related processes.
Once the USB subsystem had choked, a command as simple as
'ls /mnt/usbhd' would result in another process hung in 'D' state.  

I've upgraded to 2.6.18 and it's doing much better, though its USB
support is not yet totally solid.

HTH,

David
