Ssh will keep a tunnel open as long as a tcp connection is open through 
its tunnel.  But since your timeout expires in the first run, it will 
exit when the first rsync completes and closes the connection.

Ssh is pretty robust, but if you have keys set up for passwordless 
connections you could wrap it in a shell loop that runs it again if it 
exits.
