Thanks to you and Paul Slootman for clarifying this issue. So basically, there is no meaning for specifying --daemon along with --rsh to start-up a single-use daemon to connection over rsync port at the remote machine, but it actully would have been useful funcationlity to have (avoiding a manual startup and shutdown of the rsync server).
