First, since that looks like a unix-like target, is there some reason
you don't want to use rsync over ssh instead of configuring rsyncd?
You can test if the problem is your rsyncd config by running a stock
rsync against it like:
rsync -av host::module
(note the double :'s). If you don't give a destination you should see a
directory listing of the files - or you can add a local target directory
to copy to. If all you want is /etc you could just have a module with
that as the path and omit any include/excludes.
