The configuration file looks right to me. If rsync is still trying to use group "admins", then either there's a really weird bug in rsync or it is using a different configuration file than you think. If you previously ran an rsync daemon with a different configuration file, be sure to kill that process before starting another rsync daemon. Then, to see what configuration file the daemon is opening, you could strace it: strace -f -o daemon.strace rsync --daemon But maybe you just want to use the rsync over ssh.
