Does your rsyncd.conf file have a line like:

uid = someuser

This is the user that that the rsync daemon runs as.  Mine is set to be
my backup user.  I'm not sure what the default is, but if it's uid =
administrator, that might not give you enough rights to see everything.
 I'm pretty sure it needs to be run as someone who is in the "Backup
Operators" group.

Additionally, on my systems I found that some files were not readable by
the "Backup Operators" group.  That made it impossible for me to backup
those files until I fixed the problem.
