There was a buggy version of rsync that did this. It wasn't
initialising the ssh session properly
from my email a while ago:

Umm, maybe because upstream shipped rsync-3.0.6-4.el5.i386.rpm with 5.7 and
the rsync-3.0.6-4.el5_7.1.i386.rpm has not made it to CentOS yet.
Remember that bug for bug compatibility thing. :-)
