rsync protocol error

I am attempting to use rsync 2.5.6 to transfer files between two XP 
machines.  On one machine rsync is run as a daemon (either via cygrunsrv 
or just from a bash shell). A copy of a small number of files from the 
daemon machine to my local machine has succeeded, however all attempts 
to transfer anything in the other direction result in a protocol error:

$ rsync --verbose * thornton::test/test
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (28 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at 
/tmp/rsync-2.5.6/i
o.c(165)

Any suggestions welcome.
