REMOTE SHELL PROGRAM:

         In order to distinguish between the remote-shell  user  and  the  rsync
       server user, you can use '-l user' on your remote-shell command:

              rsync -av --rsh="ssh -l ssh-user" rsync-user at host::module[/path]
              local-path

       The "ssh-user" will be used at the ssh level; the "rsync-user" will  be
       used to check against the rsyncd.conf on the remote host.

HTH.
