This usually means your ssh keys are not set up correctly.

Did this start transferring files without asking for a password?  If so, 
that would indicate that your keys are correct.  I usually just test 
with something like:
ssh -lroot 172.0.0.3 id
to see if it completes without a prompt.   If that works, check anything 
that might be different about the server's environment than the way you 
are testing.
