I'm going the other direction (originating the command from the rescue
host), but yes, tar works over ssh, and and ssh works by itself. The
part that doesn't work is ssh when invoked by rsync, either by default
or with an explicit '-essh' argument, and the error message looks like
an ssh argument error so it doesn't even prompt for the password.
