Then make rsync work over that transport. Basically, this is an ssh config problem the way you're doing things. You may need to change the way ssh is configured for your user ID of choice. We do much the same thing here except we run as the transfer user (i.e. change user id first and then invoke rsync/ssh to do the xfer). Enno.
