Why won't git-daemon serve my repositories?

Question

I'm using git version 1.7.9 and while I've checked and double checked my configuration, I can't get the clones to work from the daemon. There's no indication of any error in /var/log/messages:

Feb 14 13:40:36 build git-daemon[9226]: Connection from 10.103.26.134:55331
Feb 14 13:40:36 build git-daemon[9226]: Extended attributes (22 bytes) exist <host=hostname.local>
Feb 14 13:40:36 build git-daemon[9226]: Request upload-pack for '/project.git'
Feb 14 13:40:36 build git-daemon[9220]: [9226] Disconnected (with error)

Nor on the client:

D:\git>git clone git://hostname.local/project.git project
Cloning into 'project'...
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Is there something obviously missing here?

git       9220     1  0 13:40 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-daemon --user=git --reuseaddr --verbose --detach --export-all --base-path=/home/git

I can clone and push to this repository just fine over SSH.

I thought about that, but seems to me the domain knowledge is far more likely to be on SO. — Danny Thomas, Feb 14 '12 at 19:40

Do you have the git-daemon-export-ok file in the root of the repo?

See the Git Community book for Setting Up A Public Repository

It doesn't matter; he is using `--export-all`. – CB Bailey Feb 14 '12 at 22:17
