The trouble is that rsync parses the "-e" command into arguments, and it
just splits at every whitespace character without regard for the inner
quotes. Maybe rsync should really be calling on a shell to parse the
command.
I can think of two ways to work around this:
(1) Put the ProxyCommand option in your ~/.ssh/config so that SSH will
use it automatically whenever you connect to targetcomputer.domain .
(2) If you don't want that, write a shell script like this:
#!/bin/bash
ssh -o "ProxyCommand corkscrew myhttpProxy 8080
targetcomputer.domain 22" "$@"
and supply the name of this shell script as the "-e" command.
