Normally the key goes in root's home directory under
.ssh/authorized_keys.     That 'ssh-copy-id' command is a shell script
if you want to see what it does.  Maybe you find wherever root's home
directory is in the sandbox environment and make a copy there.

If not, and you end up using rsyncd instead, just change the
$Conf{XferMethod} to rsyncd instead of rsync.
