I will answer my own post: According to the man page, rsync uses ssh by default for communications between hosts. I was confused when Cron complained that it couldn't find ssh as I thought it would be called by rsync. Cron needs the full path to find ssh, so I added the following option: -e /usr/local/bin/ssh The job executed with no further complaints.
