That is how I started out. But, when run as me, it will not copy over files that belong to other users. I can't run it as root, as root login via ssh is not allowed for security reasons. The UID/GID issue with the server is a nasty bit of fine print that is only found in the rsyncd.conf man mage. It would be real user friendly to have a note in the "Starting rsync daemon to accept connections:" section of the rsync man page saying that using the daemon results in it running as user and group "nobody" and to see the rsyncd.conf uid/gid module directives for more detail.
