Try connecting to the daemon locally by running "nc localhost PORT" on
the daemon machine to see if the same thing happens.  If the daemon
prints "@RSYNCD: 30" or "@RSYNCD: 29", then the problem is between there
and the client.  If it doesn't print anything, then check the daemon's
log and the syslog; the log should say something like "rsyncd version V
starting, listening on port P".
