The problem you're encountering with rssh is a very old one where it was rejecting the use of -e combined with --server, which is not correct (the correct method is to reject any rsync command that doesn't have --server as the first option, and then no checking of the -e option is needed). This was pointed out to them years ago, and was fixed in various debian/red hat/etc packaged versions of rssh. If you don't have a fixed version, you can find some fixed source code via those source packages. Or choose to switch to using the rrsync script.
Thanks. I did finally figure that out with help from Russ Allbery on the rssh mailing list who sent me a patch. I also found a posting from Derek Martin in http://sourceforge.net/p/rssh/mailman/message/30185240/ saying he "never will" support rsync 3.
rrsync may be better for a new install as it seems rssh is only gettingsecurity fixes. That had me confused as the current version clearly postdates rsync 3.
