"Connection refused" seems like the key error here.

What do you get when you do `telnet jp.archive.ubuntu.com 873` from the
CuBox and the Soekris box? Can you ping jp.archive.ubuntu.com?

It does not seem to be responding on the default rsyncd port for me. It
should respond with something like this:

$ telnet mirror.rit.edu 873
Trying 129.21.171.98...
Connected to thwomp.rc.rit.edu.
Escape character is '^]'.
@RSYNCD: 30.0
