Use the source, Luke.

Are the permissions on your rsyncd.secrets file appropriate?

Yes.

No.
It would've been useful if you'd confirmed that you can log in as
'testu' normally after having created the user on the remote host.

As Nick suggested, try running the rsync client with the verbosity
increased. I suggest using at least '-vv', but you may not see anything
relating to the configuration problem until you run with '-vvv'; even
then, you may not see anything, but it'll help confirm what is and isn't
working.
You could also try running the rsync daemon in no-detach mode with
increased verbosity, e.g.:
# rsync --daemon --no-detach -vvv
