Try some basic things:

ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] true

The above command should not output anything at all (excepting an ssh
password prompt, if applicable).  If there is any output on stdout, you
need to disable whatever is generating that output so that rsync doesn't
get garbage trying to talk to the remote rsync.

ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] rsync --version

The above command should show you rsync's version.  If it does not,
figure out where rsync is installed and try it with a full path.  If a
full path works, use the --rsync-path=/path/rsync option when invoking
your client-side rsync.  If there is no rsync on the remote system,
install it yourself.
