Another feature of rsync modules that can be useful is that each module can specify a user and group thus one can rsync user directories between systems where the user names are the same but uid and gid may differ.
If you are running as root, rsync should normally map the user/group ids locally by names unless you turn the feature off with the --numeric-ids option (more or less like tar does).
