Obviously something is not OK with the permission.  I think you'd be wise
to try and fix the rsh problem (or better yet by going over ssh) because
it's a lot simpler than trying to use the rsync server

There are several errors in rsyncd.conf, so much that I don't think I can
take the time to explain it all to you right now in a way you'd understand,
and I'm not even sure that a proxy is what you need or if you'll be able to
get it to work.  In any event, you don't tell the server side to use a
proxy, it's only the client side that can do anything with it.
