You are getting into some weird interactions with how ssh
parses its command line. Add an extra -v and you will see.
It is possible in some cases to tweak the -e into a shape
that will do what you want. Another possibility might be to
mess around with the --rsync-path option.
My preference would be to either configure the NAT box to
forward a set of high ports to 22 on w1, w2 and w3 or use
ssh to set up port forwarding and then connect over that.
For trying it out i'd suggest using rsync in list-only mode.
