ERROR: chroot failed

[tim.conway at philips.com]

The first thing i'd look for is to make sure that /home/brad/data/emailbackup already exists.  Every time i've had chroot fail, it was an invalid path. 
 Once a typo; once, i hadn't made the directory yet, and once, I didn't 
have permission to cd to the directory as the user in the uid field.

        Subject:        ERROR: chroot failed
        Classification: 



I am trying to use rsync to transfer some directories from a RedHat 7.0 
box
to a RedHat 7.1 rsync server via a cron job.

The cron command line:
00 00 * * *  /usr/local/bin/emailbackup > /tmp/backup.log 2>&1; mail -s
"Rsync Backup Log" my at emailaddres < /tmp/backup.log

The 7.1 rsyncd.cond;
[home]
path = /home/brad/data/emailbackup
read only = no
uid = root
gid = root

The 7.0 client command:
rsync -avt /home homeserver::home

The emailed log file:
building file list ... done
home/brad/
home/brad/.bash_history
home/brad/Sent
home/brad/Trash
home/sales/
home/sales/Sent
home/sales/Trash
home/brad/
home/sales/
wrote 2890098 bytes  read 494604 bytes  9062.12 bytes/sec
total size is 1946474433  speedup is 575.08
@ERROR: chroot failed

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Regards,
Brad
