Below is a message from my original query about a week ago. I wanted to follow up briefly with the solution which we finally adopted. We changed our athentication via SSH to only prompt for a SecurID PIN. (no longer getting prompted by the shell) This involved changing the sshd on the destination machine. The rsync user gets only one authentication prompt, then enter their PIN, and all is well. Thank you all - for all of your help!
