I realize now what I did wrong. When I originally ran cron-config, I entered the wrong password for the Helen account. I didn't realize this password was saved in some way for starting the daemon.
To fix, I ran cron-config, answered yes to Do you want to remove or reinstall it?, then answered yes to the install and start questions. Output of cron-config included: The cron daemon is now running. and I confirmed by setting my rsync command to run a few minutes in the future. The rsync happened as expected.
