Maybe try starting with the most basic command for troubleshooting:

rsync 10.10.1.247::

That should list all the modules that are available.  If it shows the
"docs" module from your CentOS machine, then maybe there's something in
your previously-used syntax that CentOS doesn't like.  (Perhaps it
doesn't like the "bpc@" portion, although I've never had trouble with
that type of syntax).
