fileListReceive failed

I'm just starting to get BackupPC 2.1.0pl1 setup on a FC1 box with rpms
automatically maintained by apt-get.  I'm trying transfer files via
rsync from a remote box, initially backing up just the /etc directory as
a test.  The transfer doesn't occur, giving me the following message in
mail:

<mail>
The following hosts had an error that is probably caused by a
misconfiguration.  Please fix these hosts:
  - remoteserver (fileListReceive failed)
 
Regards,

Then I run 'BackupPC_dump -v remoteserver' and get the following output:

</errormsg>

Here are some entries from the global BackupPC/conf/config.pl

$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = '/etc';
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = '/etc';
        I've also tried '/'; since /etc is within the / mount point
$Conf{RsyncArgs} = [
        I also added '--one-file-system',

It seems that I've got rsync misconfigured on the remoteserver.  Here's
a section of my rsyncd.conf:

gid = users
read only = false
use chroot = false
transfer logging = true
log format = %h %o %f %l %b
log file = rsyncd.log
hosts allow = 10.11.12.13
 
[/etc]
        comment = backup of /etc
        path    = /etc
        list    = yes
        uid     = root
        read only = no
        secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets

Any ideas?
