AFAIK, the daemon is running as root. Thjs is how I set it up under xinetd. As I understand it, in order for the chroot to work, it has to be root. This is also evidenced by the fact that it is running on rsync's default port which is under 1024.

Which is the user you told rsync to run as. If you want any other user(s) to own the files, you have to tell it to run as root.
