That line must have contained a space prior to the mpdm at mpdm-w2k3 part
or it wouldn't have failed as it did.  That is specifying a
user+hostname to ssh, and rsync always supplies the hostname, so
obviously that conflicts.  If you want to specify an ssh user when using
a daemon-over-ssh command, use the -l option to ssh:

rsync -vrt --rsh="ssh -i /home/ul081b/mpdm-keys/rsa-mpdm01 -l mpdm" mpdm-w2k3::MPDM .
