Not so. If you look carefully at Ivan's quoting, you'll note that
he put the backticks inside single quotes, which saves them for the
$src_host. For instance:
COM='`ls -1d f*`'
rsync -av $src_host:"$COM" /tmp
That command would work just like this simpler command:
rsync -av $src_host:f\* /tmp

The quoting problem is a shell problem due to the backticks. Backticks
split the string at spaces, regardless of the quoting or backslashing
that you may attempt to use in the output (which is ignored because the
shell isn't doing parsing there, just word-splitting). To fix this,
you'll have to affect how the backticks split the output. I can't
figure out a way to get rsync to set IFS in the right spot to affect
just the backtick expansion, so perhaps the only solution is to use a
different command-running syntax.
If your login shell is zsh, you could use this command:
COM='${(f)"$(find '$src_dir' -mtime -'$days' -type f)"'
This quotes the find command's output (so that it doesn't get split),
and then explicitly splits the output based on newlines. I don't know
if bash has something similar (since I don't use bash).
