This message would indicate that the rsync connection to the daemon is
refused; it doesn't get as far as the files themselves. I.e. the file
permissions, uid / gid / etc aren't in the picture at all.

As you have an "auth users = " line, you're doing something wrong while
connecting... please show the command lines you run.
