I think I have solved this one of two possible ways.

1) Write a script on the server that rsnapshot uses instead of rsync to =
launch sudo rsync. This requires passing all the usual arguments that =
rsnapshot uses for rsync manually.

+rsync_long_args=3D--rsync-path=3D/path/to/myrsnapscript --delete =
--numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded --exclude=3Dcore

2) allow root login in sshd.conf (Since logins require a certificate, =
this is not as bad as it might seem).

I went with option 1, and allow the backup user access to that one line =
bash script.
