Can a non-root user write to the paths that you specified for the pid
and log files? Prolly not. That's why rsync dies so quickly.
Create a rsyncd.conf file in your home directory that uses paths that
you can write to. Also - since the specified uid and gid directives
will not work for a non-root user, leave those out.
