When the name is changed to add the "@" we get the following error:
systemctl start rsyncd at .service
Failed to issue method call: Unit name rsyncd at .service is not valid

Looked at the openvpn at .service script and see the type=forking
statement. We added this but with the above issue not able to tell if it
helped. The document on systemd.exec still leaves us wondering where and
which file to insert the StandardInput statement. Will look at more
scripts to see if we can determine the correct location.
