To elaborate: rssh is rejecting the -e option that rsync clients >=
3.0.0 use to convey compatibility information to the server, although
security-wise there is no reason to do so.  If (as I assume) you can't
modify the rssh setup, then pass --protocol=29 to rsync to stop it from
passing -e to the server.  See:
