rsync 2.4.3 has known problems when going over rsh. I suggest 2.4.1 for
rsh or 2.3.2 if you want to be able to use ssh. If you compiled 2.4.3 from
source, you can probably get rsh to work by adding
set_blocking(STDOUT_FILENO);
in util.c where it does "set_blocking(STDIN_FILENO)" but that will make ssh
hang.
