If you are starting the daemon as root, you need "uid = rsyncd" in the
configuration file to tell it to become user rsyncd; otherwise, the
default is to become "nobody".

The "inflate returned -3" is an internal error in rsync's compression
code.  Since you aren't willing to upgrade rsync, just omit the -z
