I call shenanigans, as I'm a Tier 1 mirror and I've got a 15 directory
available for mirrors.  In fact I'm synced, fully, on all 4 of my
servers worldwide.

I'm going to guess that the rsync module your using is someone's public
module vs. the module used for mirrors.

Poke one of those mirrors (of which I'm the kernel.org contact) and they
can add you to the appropriate acl they use (we use username / passwords
so I don't have to keep track of sites individual ips) and they can tell
you what rsync module you should be using and how to access it.
