Hi Paul,
Yes, this is a known issue by us, and by RHEL.
I have already yanked it from the yum repositories, and sent an email to
the errata list with the following
------
This errata has been pulled from the repositories.
There is a bug in the 3.0.6-4.el5 version of rsync.
rsync commands of the form
rsync <options> localdir remotehost:remotedir
or
rsync <options> remotehost:remotedir localdir
no longer work, since the remotehost isn't passed along properly
unless there's also a username specified, therefore now require the form
rsync <options> localdir username@remotehost:remotedir
or
rsync <options> username@remotehost:remotedir localdir
A fix for this bug is in the works and will be provided as soon as it is
available.
----
And alternative is to do
yum downgrade rsync
Here is the link to the bugzilla for it.

It seems that version 3.0.6-4.el5 of rsync that was made available from
the sl-security repo yesterday is broken. In my usage:
rsync -rlHptS --delete --rsh=ssh<directory> <machine>:<directory>
ssh is being invoked with no arguments. This is, obviously, causing it
to fail.
Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks.
