"missing secret for user" using cygwin rsync on Windows XP Home

Hi,

I'm trying to set up rsync to allow me to backup a number of Windows machin=
e to a Windows XP Home server using Nasbackup.

I can get rsync working fine but have been struggling for days to get user =
authentication working.

/var/log/rsyncd.log

2005/09/27 13:46:37 [1352] rsyncd version 2.6.6 starting, listening on port=
873
2005/09/27 13:47:50 [4088] auth failed on module modulename from localhost =
(127.0.0.1): missing secret for user "me"

/etc/rsyncd.conf

use chroot =3D false
strict modes =3D false
log file =3D /var/log/rsyncd.log

[modulename]

path =3D /cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/backups
comment =3D Rsync storage area
read only =3D false
auth users =3D me
secrets file =3D /cygdrive/c/cygwin/etc/rsyncd.secrets

/etc/rsyncd.secrets

me:pass

The server was started with the following command line:

cygrunsrv.exe -I "Rsync" -p /cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin/rsync.exe -a "--config=
=3D/cygdrive/c/cygwin/etc/rsyncd.conf --daemon -cc -no-detach" -f "Rsync da=
emon service"
net start rsync

The Rsync service is starting.
The Rsync service was started successfully.

The client was started with the following command line:
rsync -vvr /cygdrive/c/folder localhost::modulename
opening tcp connection to localhost port 873
opening connection using --server -vvr . modulename
Password:
@ERROR: auth failed on module modulename
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at /home/lapo/p=
ackaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.6main.c(1171)

As shown above, authentication is failing because it is not picking up the =
secret for the user.

I have tried the forums, web searches etc and have tried tons but nothing s=
eems to work.

Any other ideas?

Thanks very much,
Andrew
