'port' is a global parameter for rsyncd.conf, not a module one. You need 
to put it above the '[data]' module. See 
http://samba.anu.edu.au/ftp/rsync/rsyncd.conf.html for details. Also, 
make sure you're not specifying '--port' on the command line, which 
would supersede any value in the conf file.
