Why do you start a new daemon at all? I am using rsync for copying
snapshots of running jails to another box, and never found the need to
restart rsyncd.

If you restart with

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/rsyncd.sh stop && /usr/local/etc/rc.d/rsyncd.sh start 

the rc.subr script should hang until the first rsyncd has finished its
transfers.
