You need to specify the -e option (cf man rsync).
/usr/local/bin/rsync -e ssh -avz --delete ${remote}:${fs}/ ${fs}/
If you intent to use It as root you need to set up your ssh server so that
It does not require a password when rsync initiate the connexion.
This can be done in a quite "not so secure manner" by providing an empty
password when you generate the ssh key you will be using. Other more tricky
and safer solutions could be used...

Good luck... Once It works, It works steadily and for long !
