Is this the *actual* command?
- Why the null --exclude-from?
- FYI - you have a double slash in the destination
- Mainly - the -i and its argument need to be part of the -e argument:
rsync -v -a --delete --numeric-ids -e "ssh -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa" \
/bin/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/export/home/scbackup/socnt01/bin/

Why is this 'boot' and not 'bin' according to your rsync command?
In any case, it's odd that this rsync command is being echoed back.

I don't see how it can work at all with the ssh -i argument not included
in the -e argument string...
Are you sure you have root access via ssh? Some configs disable that.
Lastly - what version of rsync are you using (always important to know).
