(Note: The backslash here is for the benefit of the shell's word
splitting.  The directory name doesn't contain the backslash.)

A similar module works for me with rsync 2.6.9 if I write the path with
no backslashes or quoting, like this:

path = /data/Knowledge Center

Make sure you've tried that syntax with the correct Center/Centre
spelling (you used Centre in your other message).  If that still doesn't
work, please run the daemon under strace to confirm the path it is
trying to chdir to.

When rsync fails to enter the module, it prints the directory it is
trying to enter with no backslashes or quoting.  If rsync failed to
enter the directory you "ls"-ed above, the error would be:

rsync: chdir /data/Knowledge Center failed : No such file or directory (2)

That wasn't among the errors you pasted, so I imagine you just haven't
tried the right syntax yet.
