Let me guess, you have a line pid file=/var/run/rsyncd.pid in your rsyncd.conf (unfortunately you didn't supply it, so I can't check for myself). If you cpoied it from /usr/share/doc/rsync/examples/rsyncd.conf, then you should also have read the comment above that line: # for pid file, do not use /var/run/rsync.pid if # you are going to run rsync out of the init.d script. > to use rsync-debian.pid instead. I've attached a diff. Do you really think that an important package like rsync wouldn't work properly in this situation, without having to hack scripts...
