I am trying to setup sysvol replication from a windows pdc using cwrsync 
following this guide.

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/SysVol_Replication

The examples there are only for linux. Could use some help with config.

Windows 2003 Server C:\Program Files\ICW\rsyncd.conf

use chroot = true
strict modes = false
hosts allow = *
log file = rsyncd.log

# Module definitions
# Remember cygwin naming conventions : c:\work becomes /cygwin/c/work
#

[SysVol]
path = /cygdrive/C/WINDOWS/SYSVOL/sysvol
comment = Samba Sysvol Share
read only = yes
auth users = sysvol-replication
secrets file = /cygdrive/C/rsyncd.secret

This is the command I am using from the new Samba 4 AD server.

[root at dc0 ~]# rsync --dry-run -XAavz --delete-after 
--password-file=/usr/local/samba/etc/rsync-sysvol.secret 
rsync://sysvol-replication@dc2/SysVol/ /usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol/
@ERROR: invalid uid nobody
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at 
main.c(1503) [receiver=3.0.6]
