I noticed this same problem on my redhat 6.2 machine last week. Check
/var/adm/messages. Mine reported
inetd[415]: rsync/tcp server failing (looping or being flooded), service
terminated for 10 min
I could see no way to configure Linux inetd to avoid that, so I ended up
starting rsync as an independent daemon out of /etc/rc.d/rc3.d.
