Well, that got totally mangled, didn't it.

<proper>

#!/usr/bin/expect -f

## Note: set crontab's $PATH to search /usr/local/bin (or wherever
you've installed rsync 3) first

## all on one line, space after "?Folder/"
## I hate gmail sometimes
spawn rsync -az --delete wife at host:~/Documents/Eudora?Folder/
/Volumes/Backups/Eudora\ Folder
## end of that line

expect "*?assword:*"
send  "********\r"
set timeout -1
expect eof

</proper>
