If you want to run ssh to test the authentication mechanizm, then you must remove the path as that isn't part of the syntax of ssh. When you use similar syntax with rsync, it is actually pulling the line apart and running ssh under the covers with the syntax that it likes, it doesn't send the path, it uses the path itself.
