Try telnet from the master to the slave on port 2005 - this checks that
syncserver is running ok (2005 is all you need through the firewall):

# telnet slave 2005
Trying xx.xxx.xxx.xxx...
Connected to slave
Escape character is '^]'.
* SASL CRAM-MD5
* OK mailstore.xxxxxxxxx.xxx Cyrus sync server v2.3.7

If it isn't running (connection refused) then make sure you're logging
debug messages (local6.debug in syslog.conf) and look to see what's wrong
- make sure you put csync in /etc/services

Try running sync_client manually on the master with verbose flag:
(as your Cyrus user)

% sync_client -r -v

Hopefully that will give a clue.
