I have this in my rsync.conf

auth users = wendell

But rsync doesn't seem to interpret the $USER. I've also tried this
with $HOME and '~' with no luck.
Yeah, that's never going to work.
I want to be able to back up to the folder 'backup' that will be in
the users homefolder when a user is backing up remotely to the rsync
daemon.
but the user is 'wendell' so put in the path to wendell's home.
rsync.conf doesn't support calls out to authentication modules, so
there's no way to make this work. If you want each user to be able to
access their own backup location, you need a block for each user:
[backup-wendell]
path = /home/wendell/backup
etc..
[backup-wallace]
path = /home/wallacebackup
etc..
[backup-gromit]
path = /home/gromit/backup
etc..
