yes, otherwise it would work.
The default value for $Conf{RsyncShareName} is '/', so I'd guess "your config"
is not being used. I notice you're using $hostIP and not $host. You've
presumably got a reason for that, and that reason is probably related to your
problem. As far as "your config" is concerned, it looks reasonable to me. I
would expect it to work.

You should also check the XferLOG for the command actually executed (and, of
course, tell us more about your configuration).

Regards,
Holger
