By default rsync uses remsh if remsh exists in the PATH of whoever compiled
rsync. It must not be in the default PATH provided by sudo. It's in
/usr/bin/remsh on my Solaris 2.7 machine. If you have rsh but not remsh, a
workaround would be for you to use '-e rsh' or to give a complete path to
the -e.
