Sorry.  This is a Red Hat 6.2 machine.  2.2.19 kernel.  Both ends are the 
same.

The server is running rsyncd and client connections are going over an 
stunnel.  The daemon is actually running using DJB's 
ucspi-tcp/daemontools/supervise.

Here is the command line of the server:

exec envuidgid root \
tcpserver -DRUvX -x /etc/tcpcontrol/rsyncd.cdb 0 rsync rsync -vvv --daemon

Here is the command line of the client:

rsync -avz --progress rsync://localhost/apache_logs/access_log .

localhost because this is going over an stunnel.  Here is the rsyncd.conf:

use chroot = yes
hosts allow = 127.0.0.1
uid = nobody
gid = nobody

[apache_logs]
        uid = root
        gid = root
        path = /usr/local/apache/logs
        comment = apache server log files, etc.
        read only = yes

Thank You.
