It appears that the command you show is not a complete copy/paste job.
When you changed "backup.amlaw.com" or whatever it was to
"backup.domain.com", you also removed one of the colons between that
and
"jspfsp", as the only time rsync does a chroot is as a server.
A chroot failure is almost invariably an erroneous "path =" line in
the
rsyncd.conf, and since it works otherwise, we know your OS can do chroot.
Check the directory named under the "[jspfsp]" entry in your
rsyncd.conf.

I am doing this to rsync a file:
rsync -avz
/usr/local/websphere/appserver/hosts/default_host/jsp/servers/includes/file1
.txt backup.domain.com:jspfsp >> /var/log/rsync_backup.log
I get these error:
@ERROR: chroot failed
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (34 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165)
I am rsyncing several folders between these two servers with no problem.
But
now I keep getting this rsyncing a single script.
