Server side:
- Where is your secrets file?
- Does it contain a "root:<somepassword>" line?
- Does it have the right permissions?

Client side:
- Did you supply the correct RSYNC_PASSWORD environment prior
  issuing any rsync commands?


General:
- Which OS do you use?
- Which rsync version do you use?
