Joe: I'm guessing you're doing the external transport thing: 'rsync -options /path/to/whatever remotehost:/path/to/where/you/want/whatever' In that form, it relies on host-based authentication... rsh, rlogin sort of thing. if you can't 'rsh remotehost rsync --version', you can't use the rsh external transport. If you have ssh available, you can add '-e ssh', which will have rsync use ssh instead of rsh. If you've set up a rsyncd server, make sure you're using the '::' syntax, else your client will try rsh again.
man rsh man hosts.equiv man rhosts (may be same as hosts.equiv... ymmv) man ssh man rsyncd.conf man rsync?
