Ok, sorry for the noise, but i hope this will help others. Since i've just 
replaced the old rsync.exe by the provided one, i kept the rsyncd.conf file.

So, i removed the "pid file = rsyncd.pid" from the config file, and it's now 
working like a charm.
Maybe this version has the pid file stored somewhere else, anyway, putting this 
option in comment (adding # before) fixed the problem. 

Now rsync start w/o problem on each reboot (apply to xp and vista versions).

Regards.
