One end of the transfer has to be local (even a host named "localhost" is
not local), so one thing you can do is to use two rsync commands (pull, then
push).  Or just make sure that the sending side of the transfer is running
rsync as root (e.g. use sudo to run the local rsync too).

Also, a modern rsync would have exited with an error about your invalid
two-server syntax, so you may wish to upgrade to something newer.
