Thanks Cameron. I figured out what was wrong in 1). My source path was
specified as 'host:/path/*' when it should have been 'host:/path/'.
Re: 2), you said:

I'm not sure what to look at other than /var/log/messages. In the
rsyncd.conf, is the line 'syslog facility = local3', but I don't know what
that means. As for 'strace', it apparently isn't installed on this system.
/var/log/messages shows 'exit status 11' -- it's definitely not a signal 11.
Thanks for your help,
bd

Sure it gets them. But if you're saying something like:
rsync -e ssh * targethost:
you should be aware that _you_ are not telling it to copy the .* files
because "*" doesn't match files beginning with ".". I tend to copy
directories instead of files with rsync (scp does me just fine for
plain files), so I don't run into this issue much.

The rsyncd should be logging something - check its log file. Strace
the rsync daemon if there's nothing - is that _status_ 11 (an arbirary
exit code which may mean something specific) or _signal_ 11 (which is
SIGSEGV, indicating access to unmapped memory by the rsyncd - typically
a NULL pointer, and generally indicative of a bug).
