I'm guessing that your getnameinfo() function is returning an IPv4
address in IPv6 format.  The way rsync currently works, the address's
"family" must match the value in the config file, so you should add the
IPv6 version of an IP address to your "hosts allow" line to allow it to
be in either IPv4 or IPv6 format.  For instance, if the IP address is
1.2.3.4, the line would like like this:

hosts allow = 1.2.3.4 ::ffff:1.2.3.4
