Unfortunately, some options like chroot can only be > specified via configuration file) To have rsync act as a daemon but use the existing connection, pass both --daemon and --server (as in the remote shell command sent by the client, which you can see with -vv). --daemon alone may have worked previously if rsync's stdin was a socket, which triggers an "inetd mode" similar to what happens if you also pass --server.
