This is a bug in Debian's rsync packaging (and shame on me for not filing it
when I noticed it).
By default rsync runs as the user "nobody" in the group "nobody".
Debian doesn't use the group "nobody"; that group is "nogroup".
So in the "[test]" section of /etc/rsyncd.conf, add a line:
"gid = nogroup"
