Hi David,

you can put your private keys in "/mnt/kd/ssh_keys/". They will 
automaticly added to the "/root/.ssh/authorized_keys" file (at 
startup), which lives in "/tmp". This answers also your next question 
about root.

I tested your rsync command on my iMac and I don't need the "-i 
<my-private-key-file>" part.  It works also without it. It uses my 
~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub" file.
