OK, I will admit that I am not that knowledgeable about rsyncd.  I
have been moving TBs of data through rsync since 2001 and I have never
found a reason to run rsyncd.

That being said, try...
[some_module_name]
	path=/some/path
	include=/temp1
	exclude=*

I have not actually tried this myself so I might be completely wrong.
