What is this command supposed to do?  I'd expect the -l option to 
conflict with the user@host syntax and the '-e ssh' to conflict with the 
double-colon in the source specifier that should mean the remote is in 
standalone daemon mode.

What remote user is this supposed to use, and which connection mode?
