This is an idiom meaning that you are not giving the person what you know they want, but are deliberately stalling or giving them misinformation. The image is of them running around trying to get somewhere, and you're pointing in the wrong direction. You typically hear this said when people are trying to deal with a big corporation that doesn't want to pay them what is owed, or that doesn't want to provide service that is owed.
