I've had something like this.  If I remember correctly, it was a secrets
file issue, the password wasn't correct.  I also remember getting a fatal
error notice when I set up the conf file on the Client stating to back up
cDirve, but the drive I have in the Client PC was fDrive.

Also be sure the Windows Firewall is not Turned On.

There were also a few commands that can be ran from a command line to help.

1.  nmblookup -A yourhostname

2.  ping yourhostname

3.  pathping yourhostname

There are some good examples in this web site:

http://www.sonoracomm.com/support/18-support/86-backuppc-for-sme-server

Specifically under "Windows Client Configuration (rsyncd Method2)" >
"Testing"

This command for example:

Then run this command, substituting the proper local port and rsync share
name to test your rsync connection:

rsync --port <local_port> [EMAIL PROTECTED]::<share_name> 

A more definitive example, replace yourhostame with your actual client pc
name:  rsync --port 873 [EMAIL PROTECTED]::cDrive 

If you have any questions, please contact me.

Subject: [BackupPC-users] fileListReceive failed - XP client with Rsyncd


I have been receiving fileListReceive failed errors. I have been 
successfully been backing up part of this drive with SMB and am trying 
to change to the whole drive with Rsyncd. Have done two other XP 
machines with Rsyncd with no problems. This drive as 75Gb on it. I have 
searched on this problem and have only found posts about SSH problems.
