Rsyncd and Environmental Paths

[Jerome Hollon]

I have this in my rsync.conf
[backup]
    path = /home/$USER/backup
    use chroot = no
    monge symlinks = no
    uid = wendell
    gid = wendell
    read only = no
    list = yes
    auth users = wendell
    secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets
But rsync doesn't seem to interpret the $USER. I've also tried this with $HOME and '~' with no luck. I want to be able to back up to the folder 'backup' that will be in the users homefolder when a user is backing up remotely to the rsync daemon.

How can I do this?
