Yes, the error message is coming because ssh is terminating early but I
don't think that the advice that Jason goes on to give (using extra keys,
expect, etc) is correct. There is no reason why rsync can't handle a
double prompt, because when you use "rsync -e ssh" all the prompting is
handled completely by ssh; rsync has nothing to do with it. I just tried
an example and it worked ok. Are you getting any other error messages
before "unexpected EOF in read_timeout"? My guess is that you aren't
getting properly authenticated to ssh. Using "rsync -e 'ssh -v'" may
give you more info about what's going wrong.
