When you are running rsync as a daemon, the permissions are entirely
controlled by the startup options and config file and the authorized
user setup has nothing to do with local users or sudoers. The daemon
needs to run as root to access most files and even then Selinux can
prevent access. Try disabling Selinux to see if that allows access.
