The file should have the password only. Just the string 1234

man rsync:
--password-file
	This  option  allows  you  to  provide  a password in a file for
	accessing a remote rsync daemon. Note that this option  is  only
	useful  when accessing an rsync daemon using the built in trans-
	port, not when using a remote shell as the transport.  The  file
	must not be world readable. It should contain just the password
	as a single line.
