Auth failed means your UserName and Passwd didn't match
correctly.  Do you really have those commented out in
the config file?

You can test for a working rsyncd manually using rsync from
the backuppc box with a syntax like:
rsync [EMAIL PROTECTED]::module/
The double : indicates the protocol for a standalone rsync
server and you should be prompted for a password. When
you omit a destination on the command line you will just
get a listing of files as the result if the connection
suceeds.
