RsyncShareName is what corresponds to the rsyncd.conf module name, so you
shouldn't set it to '/', which doesn't match any modules in your
rsyncd.conf.  You should set it to "backuppc" which is actually in your
rsyncd.conf.

A module only corresponds to one path, so not only shouldn't you set it to
each directory, you can't.

If you're using rsyncd, you have to set it up on each computer you back up
-- which is one reason that a lot of people prefer rsync.  (Also it's more
secure, easier to set up, and so forth.)
