Based on your description, I have no idea what your actual problem is.
I mean, you're basically saying, "it doesn't work."  Which doesn't give
folks any way to help you, really.

What error message do you see?  What's in the logs?  You're running the
rsync client with -v, which should be pretty verbose, have you tried
running the rsync server with the logging amped up?
