From the syntax you intend to use in rsync, you will be ignoring the rsyncd.conf file and using ssh only. If you want to limit what the clients can access on the server, you can do it with your own script in the ssh authorized_keys file that checks the parameters given to rsync on the server side. - Dave Dykstra
