Hmmmm... works fine for me:

| $ RSYNC_PASSWORD="" rsync -avuz --exclude "BIN/" --exclude "ISO/" \
|   rsync://[EMAIL PROTECTED]@rsync.openpkg.org/openpkg-ftp/release/ \
|   2.2/ /tmp/2.2/
| receiving file list ... done
| created directory /tmp/2.2
| ./
| 00INDEX.rdf
| SRC/
| SRC/00INDEX.rdf.bz2
| SRC/00README
| [...]

Maybe you were just two fast. While the ProFTPD directly authenticates
against the underlying SQL database (and this way your account is active
immediately), the RSYNC still has to read the information from a plain
text file. And this plain text file is updated every 15 minutes only.
Perhaps you were two fast in trying RSYNC after registration?
