Wayne, 

Thanks for the reply. I disagree with your analysis, however. Here is a test with your suggestion (notice that the command not found complains about the uppercase MPDM-W2K3). Also, the logs show that the ssh connection was established, so the entire quoted param for --rsh is likely correct (it works with both the @ and the -l):

$ rsync -v -v -v --recursive --rsh="ssh -i /home/ul081b/mpdm-keys/rsa-mpdm01 -l mpdm mpdm-w2k3"  MPDM-W2K3::MPDM .
opening connection using ssh -i /home/ul081b/mpdm-keys/rsa-mpdm01 -l mpdm mpdm-w2k3 MPDM-W2K3 rsync --server --daemon .
bash: line 1: MPDM-W2K3: command not found
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far)
