Ok, but what should be *in* the rsyncd.conf file. the man page isn't
at all clear what should be included. I just want to do simple rsync's
of the sort shown in the command i gave. I don't know what it means to
set up "modules".

there is no rsyncd.conf file.
That would be the problem. An rsync daemon needs a configuration
file;
it will look for the file at /etc/rsyncd.conf unless you specify a
different path with a --config option in the command inetd is running.
In general, you should check the server's syslog (/var/log/messages)
or
any "log file" you specified in rsyncd.conf for error messages related
to the daemon. Most likely, there is a message in the syslog now
telling you that the daemon failed to open /etc/rsyncd.conf .
