Thanks Paul for the info on regarding where rsyncd.conf should be when ssh
logins. I moved rsyncd.conf to the user home directory, and it looked
like the transfer was going to start but then I got Segmentation Fault
core dumps. So I just used root as the login and the transfer worked like
a champ.

Appreciate the help and I will also look at 2.6.6. Thanks everyone.

If you supply -e ssh ... as parameters to rsync in combination with the
:: syntax, ssh is used to start a new rsync in daemon mode. If you're
not doing that as root, the default location for the config file is
rsyncd.conf in the current directory (typically $HOME). Hence it can't
find rsyncd.conf in ~USER/.

This isn't stated that clearly in the manpage, this might be mentioned
in the CONNECTING TO AN RSYNC SERVER OVER A REMOTE SHELL PROGRAM
section... the distinction between that section and the RUNNING AN RSYNC
SERVER OVER A REMOTE SHELL PROGRAM section is a bit vague as well.
