Firstly, this syntax is not quite correct, the manpage says:

    rsync [OPTION...] SRC... rsync://[USER@]HOST[:PORT]/DEST

That would translate to:

    rsync://lrem02:10001/live

i.e. don't confuse the two ways of specifying a daemon transfer
(rsync://host/module and host::module)

Secondly, if you have a daemon on 10001, why are you using ssh?
Alternatively, if you have ssh access, why use a daemon?

If you have an _ssh_ daemon on 10001, then use:

    rsync -e 'ssh -p 10001' ...

You could also make an entry for the remote host in ~/.ssh/config , like
so:

Host remotehost
    Port 10001

That will then be used as the default ssh port for that remotehost.
