My mistake as well, I didn't read the rsync man page well enough either.
Try this one:

rsync -avz -e "ssh -p 22 -l backuppc" --rsync-path "/usr/bin/sudo
/usr/local/bin/backuppc-rsync"
myserver.domain.net:/root/backups /var/tmp/pwrnctmpback/rsyncmanual

- -e is the local program to run to set up the connection to the remote
host.
- --rsync-path is the program to run on the other side to make rsync
startup...

Regards,
Adam
