i take it you are running this as an normal user and maybe its failing due to the /var folder is own by the root : wheel group and maybe you dont have access to read whats in some/all of the folders
permissions the client hase these permissions: drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 Mar 8 15:33 var al the other folders backup fine
