You have a few alternatives, which involve matching up the user that
rsync[d] is running as to the permissions on the directories you'd like to
synchronize.  The Local System account usually doesn't have access to
domain directories, but they can be granted; alternatively, you can run
rsyncd as a domain user.

To clarify:  the rsyncd user -- the one in rsyncd.conf -- does not
actually relate to anything in any way except allowing connections to
rsync.  It's not a cygwin, Windows, or domain user.  Although it can be
named the same, you can easily just use "hoobydooby" and everything will
work the same.

As above, you need to run rsyncd as the domain user; the user in
rsyncd.conf is inherently meaningless.

permission.
