FreeBSD Rsyncing

I'm haing some trouble getting my rsyncing to work in FreeBSD. I'll go
over my setup.
I have a dedicated server that manages all rsync backups.
I have a NAS device with an NFS share on it that mounts to /backup on
the server above.
I have 3 FreeBSD machines including the dedicated rsync managing server
that all have specific folders that need to be backed up nightly. The
problem I am having is that when I run the rsync command "rsync -av
host.domain.com::module/ /backup/folder/needed" some of the files are
copied and some give a permissions error like this one:
rsync: send_files failed to open "/bin/vuserinfo" (in vpopmail):
Permission denied (13)
I'm running rsync as root so I'm not too sure what the problem is. I
know you can't SSH to a FreeBSD machine as root. But using another user
I don't have access to those folder either.
Anyway ideas would be greatly appreciated.
