You can't leave off the execute bit on directory permissions.
It enables file access for that directory.  With just 'r' and no
'x', you can see the names of the files in the directory but you
cannot access the files themselves.

So change the receiving directory mode to 777 and try it again.

If it still fails, then please include:

- Current listing of rsyncd.conf (you're obviously no longer
  using /tmp if you've been futzing with its permissions...)

- output of   ls -la   for the receiving directory
