rsync - trouble setting path in daemon modules

[Dan Gardner <Dan dot Gardner at emap dot com>]

I've installed cygwin in C:\cygwin
I've managed to get rsync running as a cron job.
When I try to set the path variable for a module in the rsync daemon conf
(rsyncd.conf) to anything other than root, it fails.
When I try to set the path variable for a module in the rsync daemon conf
(rsyncd.conf) to point to anything outside root, relative to root, it fails.

The following are details of the module:

[mcnshare]
        path = /cygdrive/g/sharename
        comment = xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        uid = rsynctest
        gid = nobody
        transfer logging = yes
        list = yes
        read only = false

I've tried the following for path:
1	//ServerName/ShareName
2	/cygdrive/g/ShareName
3	/cygdrive/g/RealDirectoryName
4	//g/ShareName
5	//g/RealDirectoryName
6	/TempDirectory	    # A sub directory of cygwin root

But nothing works unless I point it to root.
I can access sub directories of root if I specify them in the client rsync
statement.

Apologise if I'm missing something fundamental.
