Rsync 3.0.0 uses -e as a server option, so rssh needs to be updated to
allow the option.  If rssh is not being updated, you could switch to
another tool, such as the "support/rrsync" that comes in the rsync
source package and is maintained with rsync.  The version that comes
with rsync 3.0.0 doesn't know about -e, but the latest development
version has been fixed:
