Yep, but that is easily solved.

No, this is your mistake. You need to know what all those options mean.
-l is the username to use when authenticating with the remote host, you
have provided the username as -p, and then I don't know what 522 and
root are going to be interpreted as, I guess 522 would be the hostname,
and root would become the path to rsync...
Try this:
$sshPath -q -x -l root -p 522 $host $rsyncPath $argList+

Also, next time please provide the log file as that will usually provide
more information if the solution isn't so easy.
