The sync scripts using dsh are pretty much useless without a ssh-agent set up
as you get asked a billion times for your password. They should check the
environment and tell you you're being dumb if it's not there... or else maybe
pop you into a temporary ssh-agent so you only need to verify your key
passphrase once at the start.
