The workaround is either to put as much of ssh_args as possible into $HOME/.ssh/config for the specific target host, or to create a /usr/local/bin/ssh-for-rsnapshot type script that incorporates the call to ssh with the relevant arguments.

Re: /usr/bin/ssh not found when rsync is executed within rsnapshot
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). that one really helped me out. Thanks a lot.

The error message is a bit misleading though. Make sure that there are no wrong whitespace characters in there. I've fallen into the trap of copypasting commands / configs from websites and having them fail mysteriously, until I noticed I could not left-shift those lines in vim with . Those leading spaces were not spaces but no-break spaces, hex value 0x80. So check your config / scripts with LANG=C cat -v /etc/rsnapshot etc. What could be the reason? How could i debug this? I often use strace -f -e execve command ... and / or strace -f -e execve command ... in such cases to see what it is really trying to run.

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.
