If it is o+r then it will be ignored. - Are you missing a newline at the end of your /etc/rsyncd.secrets file? I believe rsync ignores the last line if it ends in EOF instead of a newline. - Probably benign, but I'd comment out the "auth users" entry too until you get it to work (don't know if the hanging comma will cause a problem).
