My boss is dissapointed of me & so am I to her?

i feel bad today. My boss, whom I've always admired, and worked hard to please for got dissapointed of me. Me & a colleague facilitated the conduct of an Employee Satisfaction Survey after the management got alarmed of the high attrition rate. The advise from HR & the general manager was to just facilitate the conduct of the survey but that it shouldnt be our job to analyse & read the comments in the survey sheets. My direct boss however told me to encode all the comments because HR might not declare the "results", so i followed what she said. Now she needs the data i encoded...i told her "please email me that you'll be needing such". The reason I asked for email is because I just want to protect myself. The survey is a very sensitive matter and some managers in the company were even "mad" that they were not properly informed that a survey was conducted. As of now, there has been an uproar in the main branch re such survey. after i asked for email she said "i hate you for making it hard for me to get the data i need". she said she feels bad that i dont trust her completely. she said she'll never put the blame on me. i never meant she'd feel disapointed...i just want to "cover my ass" because of the sensitivity of this issue (survey). i feel bad that she failed to understand me. what do u guys think? what should i do now?
