	It sounds almost as if coldsync is being run once, and when it
exits, 'init' isn't restarting it. I think your /etc/inittab should
say something like

	cs:3:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/coldsync -md ...

(but think about this before you do it). The important part here is
the "respawn".

	The name "daemon mode" is a little bit misleading: in daemon
mode, ColdSync accepts one connection, then exits. It needs something
else (inetd, init, getty, whatever) to restart it for the next
connection.
