How can I use the --password-file switch with rsync in order not to
be promted for the users password so I can run rsync in a cronjob?

rsync -uavrpog -e ssh /www root at domain.tld:/DESTINATION/`date +%A`
--password-file=/quellen/RSYNC_PASSWD

does not work!

I always get a prompt to enter users root password!
