rsync error: unexplained error (code -1) at main.c(842)

[MICHAEL R. LEFEBVRE]

I'm running rsync 2.5.1 on solaris 7 in server mode and getting the
above message when entering the following command:

rsync -vraz --delete hostname::test ./

this is my rsyncd.conf

use chroot = no
max connections = 25
syslog facility = local 3
read only = false

log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
pid file = /var/log/rsyncd.pid
lock file = /var/log/rsyncd.lock

[test]
path = /export/home/mrl315
comment = rsync test
hosts allow = hostname
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets

The rsyncd.conf and rsyncd.secrets are owned by root:other and have
read and write permission only for root.

I have setup an rsync server idential to this one on an ultra 10 (this
one is a Sun Enterprise 250) and it works fine.
