It is asking you for the password for unix user [EMAIL PROTECTED] As you have one ':' in the rsync 'source' parameter it is not using the daemon at all, but is making a ssh connection and running rsync through that tunnel. This method does not use --password-file=/etc/rsyncd.secrets. Have another good look at man rsync, it's all in there.
