rsync test fails on some systems

For some reason this fails pretty consistently on Mandriva. I seem to be able
to manually run through the FVT, so I'm not sure what's going on:

List localhost::rsync failed
Test Description:
Run the command: /opt/lsb/appbat/bin/rsync localhost::rsync
- Expected result: Files available on local rsync server are listed

Message from the test:
