Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, but why not simply: rsync -azve "ssh" [EMAIL PROTECTED]:package . This doesn't involve two different users; the ssh stream will run as 'rsync_user'. Also note the single colon. It also doesn't specify the key-pair to use, but that can be moved to a system-wide or user-specific ssh configuration file.
