(This original message doesn't seem to have gone to the list.)

My guess is that the script is running but failing, and silently because
the rsync daemon redirects its stdout and stderr to /dev/null.  One of
the first things a pre-xfer or post-xfer script should do is redirect
its stdout and stderr to a log file somewhere that you can review in
case of problems.  In bash, the code for that is:

exec >>/PATH/TO/LOG 2>&1

(I don't know tcsh.)

And why the failure?  Your script seems to assume a particular working
directory, because it goes looking for "data" and "backup" in that
directory.  Note that it will inherit the working directory in which
"rsync --daemon" was run to start the daemon.  If that isn't what your
script wants, add an appropriate "cd" command.
