Can you run:

  /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l root TargetServer /usr/bin/rsync --version

And get a proper output? If not then something is up with the remote
server. You mention paranoia of the remote server admin -- is it possible
that in his authorized_keys file he's limited the command that can be run
via that key? If so, is it correct. That's a huge recipe for ssh disaster
in my experience w/ backuppc.
