FYI, the rsyncd.conf manpage lists all the available options.

The options as you listed them were fine (assuming that you have a user
and a group "root").  You can also try this instead:

uid = 0
gid = 0

And don't forget to specify access control, to avoid letting anyone
write files into your /var dir.
