When using rsyncd you can only use paths defined as modules in the
rsyncd.conf file.  You can use specific paths within those modules but
you can't go outside of the pre-defined modules.

If you want to use arbitrary locations then you probably want rsync
over ssh.

For rsync over ssh the syntax is simply user at host:/path with user@
being optional.
