That's better.  I read over the patch a little more closely this time and
have a few more comments:

    1. The --remote-user option is unnecessary because you can instead
	specify '-e "ssh -l <user>"'.
    2. Please post the patch again against the latest development version
	of rsync out of CVS (http://www.samba.org/samba/cvs.html or
	rsync://rsync.samba.org/ftp/unpacked/rsync/) because that's the
	form it will need to be in order to get it in.  I'll test it out
	then and look at it closely.
    3. Please post the next patch with GNU diff's -u option.  It's easier
	to read.
