When testing rsyncd, be sure you use double :'s in the command
(host::module).  Otherwise rsync over ssh is used.

In backuppc 'rsync' uses rsync-over-ssh and uses the actual directory
name as the share target (which is passed directly in the command).
'Rsyncd' uses rsync in daemon mode at the remote, and the target you
specify is the 'module' defined in your rsyncd config file - that is
the name in []'s, not the path to the files.    It is usually easier
to use rsync over ssh on linux unless you have some reason to not want
key access to the target system.
