RSYNC - help?

I'm attempting to setup rsync to back up some basic files (incremental backups), and I'm running into some trouble. Here's what I've done (I don't need SSH encoding for these files):

motd file = /etc/rsyncd.motd
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock

[njbackup]
path = /backup/rsync/nj
comment = njbackup
uid = nobody
gid = nobody
read only = no
auth users = njbackup
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.scrt
That's the rsync config file on the remote server, where I want to send the files to. Rsync is running on the server (I verified that, it does respond).

I then run this command on the server that has the files that I want to backup:
rsync --verbose --password-file=/etc/rsync-pwd --progress --stats --compress --recursive --times --perms --links --delete /backup/path/to/files/ njbackup@remote.backup.server.com::njbackup
I then get this output:
<snipped>

sent 2290052 bytes received 4448 bytes 353000.00 bytes/sec
total size is 2824056 speedup is 1.23
I figured that meant that the backups were sent. Apparently not, here's what the remote server shows:
root@remote [/backup/rsync/nj]# ls -l
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 25 21:11 ./
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Feb 25 21:11 ../
What am I doing wrong? Can't figure it out...
