Hello,

Since the rsyncd-module can not be found, try to make sure if rsyncd is 
installed and configured correctly:

I guess you are using rsyncd on a windows client (probably with Cygwin)?

After I figured out howto to setup rsyncd for my windows client, I've 
hacked some information into the backuppc wiki:

http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net/RsyncdWindowsClients

To test rsync on your client pc, try this command:

        rsync localhost::

This command will list the modules you have configured, you can then try 
to connect to a module with:

        rsync RSYNCDUSER@localhost::MODULENAME

I use localhost, because you should try this on the windows client 
itself, you may also want to try to use rsync from the backuppc-server, 
then replace localhost with your clients hostname or IP.

good luck, if you have any further question do not hesitate to contact 
me :-)

- Kurt

PS: I may help if you attach your /etc/backuppc/CLIENTPC.pl (SERVER) and 
/etc/rsyncd.conf (CLIENT) file.
