rsync - Oct 2006 - rsync error: error starting client-server protocol

Hi folks,

I have the following problem.

I have installed 
1.) a rsync daemon on a windows machine under cygwin
2.) installed a tunnel via ssh from the remote machine to my pc
3.) I could run rsync from the remote machine to make bakups

On the remote machine and on my pc I have rsync version 2.6.6 
protocol version 29.

The network admins decided to make 2.) inpossible. So I build the 
ssh tunnel from the pc to the remote machine but the backup does
 not longer run.

I get now the error you can read in the subject. Any hint to get 
it run again would be fine.

Thank for any help 

 Franz

I have installed
2.) installed a tunnel via ssh from the remote machine to my pc
ssh fjb@dpfs.dpcom.de -N -R pcbn0205.dpcom.de:9999:localhost:873

3.) I could run rsync from the remote machine to make bakups
The command to run the backup and the error messages is

/usr/local/bin/rsync -v -v -avz rsync://backup@localhost:9999/home/bin
~/temp/rsync    
opening tcp connection to localhost port 9999
opening connection using --server --sender -vvvlogDtprz . home/bin
@ERROR: access denied to home from localhost (127.0.0.1)
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at
main.c(1171)
_exit_cleanup(code=5, file=main.c, line=1171): about to call exit(5)

When I start the following rsync command on my local pc everything is ok
/bin/rsync -v -avz rsync://backup@192.168.180.53:873/home/bin/ahk
/cygdrive/c/Temp/rsyncTEST/bin/ahk

On the remote machine and on my pc I have rsync version 2.6.6 protocol
version 29.

The network admins decided to make 2.) inpossible. So I build the ssh
tunnel from the pc to the remote machine. But the backup does not longer
run.

In the log is nearly not information about the failure. 

----------------------rsyncd.log----------------------------------------
------------
2006/11/28 14:52:07 [18536] rsyncd version 2.6.6 starting, listening on
port 873
2006/11/28 14:52:36 [26584] rsync denied on module home from localhost
(127.0.0.1)
----------------------rsyncd.log----------------------------------------

How could I get more information to fix the failure?


Thanks for any help
