One thing to check (other than double-checking that the path name /etc/rsyncd.secrets isn't really something else like /etc/rsync.secrets) is to make sure you have a newline at the end of the last line of your rsyncd.secrets file. Rsync ignores the last line if it is not newline terminated. You can use od -c to make sure. Also, if that's the real module name, username or password I recommend you change all of them immediately.
