No, the later --rsh option overrides the weird "v" string, so that's not
the issue. It appears to be that whatever compiled version of rsync he is
using doesn't allow args -- it seems to be trying to find the command using
the full string, including spaces and ssh options. Since normal rsync
allows command args there, I don't know what is strange about his setup.
There are 2 easy solutions:
1. put what you need to run in a script and specify --rsh=/path/script.
2. put your ssh options into your ~/.ssh/config file, and stop specifying
--rsh. If you only want that key sometimes when going to that host, you
can specify a host alias in the config. For instance:
Host debx40-backup
Hostname debx40
User backupuser
IdentityFile /home/backupuser/.ssh/id_rsa
That even lets you omit the "backupuser@" prefix on the command, since you
told ssh to use the right user, but only if you use "debx40-backup:/" for
the destination host. If you always want those options, just remove the
"-backup" suffix (and the Hostname line) and they will get used for every
ssh to debx40 (by name).
