The (L) indicates that this is a list option, meaning that you have to
use the list syntax:
[...] Options expecting list
must be specified in a multi-line format as shown here where the lines
specifying values are indented by any kind of whitespace even if only
one value is being specified.
option:
value1
value2
.
.
.
valueN
Each value must be provided on its own line. Any leading and trailing
whitespace is discarded. [...]
Hence your config should be:
client: flight.shifting.ca
tree: /etc/
xdev: true
index: gzip
log: gzip
image-default: %Y%m%d
rsync-option:
-e 'ssh -p 2222'
However, in this case it would be cleaner to do it as follows:
client: flight.shifting.ca
tree: /etc/
xdev: true
index: gzip
log: gzip
image-default: %Y%m%d
rsh: ssh -p 2222

It *is* sloppy that in this case the option is messed up, it should
probably give an error. Upstream is already aware of this.
