Ok, that's very similar to how we've gotten it working in testing by
hand on the command line.

Do you execute it as a daemon (with --daemon), or do you script it with
cron? 

I'm now thinking the rsync daemon I've been trying to decipher is using
the rsync protocol itself, instead of an ssh tunnel. (I want to do the
ssh tunnel) so I think I got lost on a topic that wasn't even pertinent
