destination directory problems

[Robert Wideman]

Ok, I get a new error.

$ rsync -avz /cygdrive/d/asm
robert at 192.168.1.102::backup/
Password:
building file list ... done
rsync: push_dir#1 "/" (in backup) failed: Permission
denied (13)
rsync error: errors selecting input/output files, dirs
(code 3) at main.c(406)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (4 bytes
received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code
12) at /home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.3/io.c(359)

I have made the following changes before getting this.
chmod 644 /backup
chown root.root /backup
chmod 644 /etc/rsyncpasswd
chown root.root /etc/rsyncpasswd

/etc/rsyncpasswd has:
robert:password

/etc/rsyncd.conf has:
log file = /var/log/rsync.log
[backup]
        path            = /backup
        comment         = Backup
        list            = yes
        read only       = no
        auth users      = robert
        secrets file    = /etc/rsyncpasswd
        hosts allow     = 192.168.1.100
        uid             = 1000
        gid             = 1000

Any thoughts welcome.
Thanks
Robert

PS...are these error codes not documented?
