I think when you use F-Secure SSH your path is not being set, and
therefore rsync is not found.  You might test this using something
like

  ssh localhost 'echo $PATH'

A quick workaround is to tell rsync where the remote copy of rsync is
kept:

  rsync -e ssh --rsync-path /usr/local/bin/rsync myuserid at localhost:/tmp
