This message would indicate that the rsync connection to the daemon is refused; it doesn't get as far as the files themselves. I.e. the file permissions, uid / gid / etc aren't in the picture at all. As you have an "auth users = " line, you're doing something wrong while connecting... please show the command lines you run.
