Per the rsync manpage regarding --password-file:
	this  option  is only useful when accessing a rsync
	server using the built in transport, not when using
	a  remote shell as the transport.

That is an ssh issue.  When you can run something like
	ssh Nouveaudossier ls
and get a directory listing then rsync should work using ssh.
