This is the important part -- the connection to the remote machine was
refused.  My guess would be because it's trying to use rsh, not ssh,
however you don't have to guess -- just run rsync with -vv and you'll
see exactly what rsync is doing (or trying to do).

If my guess is correct, see the --rsh (-e) option as well as the
RSYNC_RSH environment variable.
