Update: WARNING: --rsh or -e option ignored when connecting to rsync daemon]

You'll have to choose between transports.  You are using the double-colon 
(::) syntax, which specifies that rsync is to connect to a rsync daemon 
running on port 873 (unless you specify a different port with --port=), 
making its own tcp connection, rather than using an external transport 
like rsh or ssh, thus the "-e ssh" part of your command is meaningless, 
and rsync tells you so.  From the output of your commands, it's apparent 
that you have not set up a rsync daemon on the remote system.  As ssh 
works, you can simply use the standard single-colon syntax, which will 
have rsync use an external transport, either the default, or the one you 
specify via -e.
The developers have provided a very useful resource for answering such 
questions, which is included in most methods of distributing rsync. Here's 
a relevant excerpt:

     There are six different ways of using rsync. They are:





SunOS 5.7           Last change: 29 May 2001                    1






User Commands                                            rsync(1)



     o    for copying local files. This is invoked  when  neither
          source nor destination path contains a : separator



     o    for copying from the local machine to a remote  machine
          using  a remote shell program as the transport (such as
          rsh or ssh). This is invoked when the destination  path
          contains a single : separator.



     o    for copying from a remote machine to the local  machine
          using  a remote shell program. This is invoked when the
          source contains a : separator.



     o    for copying from a remote rsync  server  to  the  local
          machine.  This is invoked when the source path contains
          a ::  separator or a rsync:// URL.



     o    for copying from the local machine to  a  remote  rsync
          server.  This is invoked when the destination path con-
          tains a ::  separator.



     o    for listing files on a remote machine. This is done the
          same  way  as rsync transfers except that you leave off
          the local destination.

     Note that in all cases (other than listing) at least one  of
     the source and destination paths must be local.
