So pulling in synchronize between two remote servers works like a champ:
---
- hosts: web14
  remote_user: jlouthan
  tasks:
      - name: Get current timestamp
        local_action: command bash -c 'date +%Y-%m-%d.%H%M'
        register: timestamp
        run_once: true

      - name: Get current datestamp
        local_action: command bash -c 'date +%Y-%m-%d'
        register: datestamp
        run_once: true

      - name: Create test file
        file: path=/home/jlouthan/testing{{ timestamp.stdout }} state=touch

      - name: List the file recently created
        shell: ls -la /home/jlouthan | grep {{ datestamp.stdout }}
        register: touchtest

      - debug: var=touchtest.stdout_lines

      - pause: prompt='Note the name of the file'

      - name: Pull test file from web16 to web14
        synchronize: mode=pull src=/home/jlouthan/testing{{ 
timestamp.stdout }} dest=/home/jlouthan/
        delegate_to: web16

      - name: List test files from today
        shell: ls -la /home/jlouthan | grep {{ datestamp.stdout }}
        delegate_to: web16
        register: destcheck

      - debug: var=destcheck.stdout_lines

      - pause: prompt='Check dest test files'



However, pushing from one remote server to another does not work:
$ cat test-push-files.yml
---
- hosts: web16
  remote_user: jlouthan
  tasks:
      - name: Get current timestamp
        local_action: command bash -c 'date +%Y-%m-%d.%H%M'
        register: timestamp

      - name: Get current datestamp
        local_action: command bash -c 'date +%Y-%m-%d'
        register: datestamp

      - name: Create test file
        file: path=/home/jlouthan/testing{{ timestamp.stdout }} state=touch
        delegate_to: web14

      - name: List the file recently created
        shell: ls -la /home/jlouthan | grep {{ datestamp.stdout }}
        delegate_to: web14
        register: touchtest

      - debug: var=touchtest.stdout_lines

      - pause: prompt='Note the name of the file'

      - name: Pull test file from web14 to web16
        synchronize: src=/home/jlouthan/testing{{ timestamp.stdout }} 
dest=/home/jlouthan
        delegate_to: web14

I tried following the examples using rsync within synchronize:
dest=http://web16/home/jlouthan/

... and that doesn't seem to work for me.

I guess what I am asking is how do you rsync pushing from one remote server 
to another (as oppose to pulling which I can successfully do).
