--backup-dir and daemon mode

[Jim Salter]

Is it possible to use --backup-dir= with a daemon mode target?  I have 
been attempting to use --backup and --backup-dir= with a daemon mode 
server I use as target for an rsync command that "pushes" from the 
server needing backing up, and have met with no luck - I keep getting 
broken pipe errors, and attempts to create directories like 
"user at 192.168.0.1::backup/backup" on the server doing the rsyncing's own 
filesystem.

If anybody's ever tried doing this kind of thing, your experience would 
be very helpful.

Thanks!
