hosts allow, and using ssh

[Nathan]

I've got an issue where I'm trying to force ssh access to rsync, the only way I could find somebody saying was by doing a "hosts allow = 127.0.0.0/24" which I think Wayne said on this list. The problem is when I do that, I get a wacky error message back which is as follows:

@ERROR: access denied to rsync from unknown (::ffff:10.0.1.134)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at /SourceCache/rsync/rsync-24/rsync/io.c(359)


That looks like a IPv6 that it's denying. But uhh, I don't use IPv6 on this network. This is the rsync command I'm running to attempt this,

rsync --dry-run -e 'ssh -i $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa -l root' -azxH \
--numeric-ids --include-from=$HOME/.rsync/backup \
--partial \
--partial-dir=.rsync-partial \
--stats \
--delete \
--link-dest=../$PREVIOUS \
$HOME \


I've even opened up a packet logger and watched all the data too and from my box and the server with not a single packet not being SSH. Could somebody explain what is going on?

And a copy of the rsyncd.conf
[rsync]
        comment = a place for stuff
        path = /home/rsync/Laptop-Backup
        read only = no
        use chroot = yes
        uid = root
        gui = root
        hosts allow = 127.0.0.0/24
