rsync - Nov 2003 - unable to open configuration file "rsyncd.conf"

I'm getting an error trying to pull a file with ssh/rsync:

$ rsync -e 'ssh -i .ssh/id_rsa' test@server.com::www/index.html
index.html
rsync: unable to open configuration file "rsyncd.conf": No such file
or
directory
rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at clientserver.c(502)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165)

The /etc/rsyncd.conf file on server.com is indeed there:

log file = /var/log/rsyncd

[www]
    path = /home/www/public_html

If I use root it works:

$ rsync -e ssh root@server.com::www/index.html index.html
root@server.com's password: ********
$

What's the problem?

Thanks,
Mike

It sounds like the /etc/rsyncd.conf file isn't readable by
the user "test".
