This indicates that your rsyncd-configuration is wrong.

1) Make sure that rsyncd is started by:

        rsync localhost::

This should return all configured shares.
This hould return a line with the RSYNCD-SHARENAME

2) Make sure that you can  connect to the share with

        rsync YOUR-RSYNCD-USER@localhost::RSYNCD-SHARENAME

This should return a list of the files after asking for your RSYNCD-PASSWORD


I guess you made a mistake configuring username,password,sharename?
Or maybe rsyncd is not running?
Maybe try to see if rsync is running?

        ps -A|grep rsync

Good luck.
