rsync: failed to connect to localhost.localdomain (::1): Connection

Is rsyncd listening on the IPv6 interface? Or only the IPv4 interface? The error message says that rsync is attempting to connect to the IPv6 loopback.

Also, your test command is a push command. The arguments are source and destination. My test command is a pull command that pulls from the "remote" (rsyncd) end a list of modules. Your command tries to copy a local file to the remote rsyncd server.

BTW, I think you want to check this command:
root@pm10:~# netstat -anp|grep LISTEN
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:22              0.0.0.0:* LISTEN      793/sshd
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 4269/exim4

Here you can see two daemons listening for network connections. sshd will accept a connection from anywhere/any interface (0.0.0.0:22) while exim4 will ONLY accept connections on 127.0.0.1. In your case, rsyncd might be configured to only accept connections on the ethernet interface, and may not be listening for connections on 127.0.0.1. Equally, some daemons can be configured to only use IPv6 and not IPv4 (or vice versa). In any case, please send the results of this command to the list so we can see what it is listening for:
netstat -anp|grep :873

Not sure, but have you sent the config file yet? There are options in the config file to restrict IP addresses that will be accepted/etc.

Regards,
Adam
