rsync fails on some directories while on others it works without issue.

Here are the inportant items:

On theserver from which directories are being copied:

more /etc/rsyncd.conf
<snip>
[abcd]
   path = /xyz/abcd
   comment = abcd   uid = 0
   gid = 3
   read only = yes
   list = no
   auth users = test-abcd
   secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.passwd
   strict modes = true
   hosts allow = <IP>
   refuse options = delete*
   transfer logging = true

<snip>

tail -f  /var/adm/rsyncd.log

ON the client to which directories are being copied to:

The command being run is:

/opt/rsync/bin/rsync -av --delete --exclude-from=/var/scripts/<path to
dir>.exclude test-abcd@<server name>::abcd/data/  /<dir>/data

and it prompts for a password, ssh has been setup for passwordless
passthrough for root
