I think your replication based only on the wal-files but no streaming
replication, do you have a entry in the pg_hba.conf on the master for
the client? Something like

#local   replication     postgres                                trust
#host    replication     postgres        127.0.0.1/32            trust
#host    replication     postgres        ::1/128                 trust


(but without the comment-sign)
