There are two things that bring that message. One is the inability to chroot. I think non-chrootable operating systems get their rsync configured so it never tries (and therefore, never fails). If you're on a real OS, you might be initiating the daemon as a non-root user (uid in the module doesn't matter).
The more common cause, though, is an error in the "path = /whatever" entry for a module. You can't chroot to a place that doesn't exist.
