You have the wrong usage. You should specify just the source and the
destination, and you have three things (/home/www/*, linux1::kuya, and
/home/www/*).
I recommend not using rsync.conf since you already have rsh connectivity
between your two machines. Then use a single colon, like:
rsync -va /home/www/* linux1:kuya
IMPORTANT: there was a problem with rsh transport in rsync 2.4.3. Use
2.4.4 or 2.4.5.
