This means that the host was not authorized (2.6.6 would have displayed
an auth error if the authentication had failed).  I'd suggest editing
your rsyncd.conf file to temporarily remove the hosts allow line and all
other access restrictions.  If that doesn't allow you to connect then
you are probably editing the wrong config file for the daemon.  If that
does let you in, add back various auth rules to see what stops you from
connecting.
