Sometime in November Bill Moran assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| Try
| export RSYNC_OPTS="-av -e \"ssh -2\""

That gives me the same error. Fwiw, I belive using literals (') means you
don't have to escape anything, but my knowledge here is pretty weak.

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, 
 and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is brought 
 under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of 
 liberty and democracy?
