You're dealing with an ssh issue there. anybody who can't ssh can't rsync -e ssh. Maybe you could take the public keys from everybody you want to use it, and put them into the account you want them to ssh into, in authorized_keys, with the appropriate command restrictions.

If so, I am trying to find the best way to restrict rsync -e ssh on the remote machine. Prepending the authorized_keys entry with command='rsync ...' 1024... results in the 'Protocol mismatch - is your shell clean?' error. Thanks, Brian D.
