rsync - Nov 2004 - What does this mean: "ERROR: The remote path must start with a module name"

Hi, 

I have an rsync daemon running on a remote server:

# rsync --daemon

with an entry in the /etc/rsyncd.conf file "path = /panpci/arch"

On another server I want to rsync its directory, with the /panpci/arch specified
in the remote rsyncd.conf file:

rsync -autWvz -e 'ssh -i /panpci/oracle/.ssh/id_dsa'
orpanpci@pdt01::/panpci/arch /sanpci/arch/PANPCI

ERROR: The remote path must start with a module name

What does this error mean, what am I doing wrong??

Thanks,

You probably didn't really mean to use "::" -- use ":"
instead (and stop
that rsync daemon -- you don't need it if you go this route).

Alternately, read the rsyncd.conf manpage to learn how to properly setup
a rsyncd.conf file, complete with one or more modules (and leave the
daemon running if you go this route).
