If you upgrade the server to 2.6.5, rsync will log the reason that the
auth failed on that log-file line (password mismatch, missing secret,
unauthorized user, invalid challenge response)  Also, it doesn't have the
bug (fixed in 2.6.3) that causes a secret (or password) file's last (or
only) line to be ignored if it doesn't end in a newline (which you might
also check for).  If you can't upgrade, try various failure points, like
manually specifying the rsyncd username (user at host::module), inputting
the password manually, etc., to try and narrow down the failure.
