Your problem probably has something to do with the way you ssh is set up.

First of all, do "ssh root at 10.78.0.107". If that asks for a password,
it's not an rsync problem. Make sure that the permissions on your
/root/.ssh directory and /root/.ssh/authorized_keys file are correct
(RTFM ssh to find out what they should be). Make sure your sshd config
file allows root to log in.

If all the above doesn't help, try asking for help on the ssh mailing lists.
