I am trying to use rsync to back up data on a central server.  On the server I created a module for the target directory; here is the entry for it in rsyncd.conf:

[data]
  path = /data
  read only = false
  uid = root
  gid = root
  #auth users = nmrsu:rw, root:rw
  #secrets file = /etc/.rsync.stuff
  log file = /var/log/rsync.log

On the server rsyncd is running with root permissions, and the permissions on /data are 777.  Yet when I try to save data to that directory, even running rsync as root on the remote system, I get a permission denied error.  If I push data from the remote host to /tmp on the server there is no problem.  There is likewise no problem in pulling data from the remote host to /data on the server. Only trying to push from the remote host to the data module on the server fails.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Bruce
