SRC [SRC]... [USER@]HOST::DEST Yes, see the "CONNECTING TO AN RSYNC SERVER" section in the rsync man-page. If it didn't convinces you: -e is equivalent to RSYNC_RSH, so rsync only knows about rsh features, ssh is only a substitution for rsh, so rsync doesn't know about ssh port forwarding (which would be needed in this case). If this still didn't convinces you: sniff some traffic to your rsync daemon.
