Others have already answered that you need the rpmforge key (can be found in 
the rpmforge-release package).

I wanted to point out a different thing. rsync is originally from Centos-Base 
and is now about to be replaced by a newer version from rpmforge. If this was 
what you wanted you may stop reading now.

However, lots of people get a bunch of base packages replaced by 3rd party 
ones when they add repos and the run yum update. Typically they added the 
repo for one or a set of packages not available in base and did not 
expect/notice/want to have base packages over-written.

There are a few ways to controll this. Either you include only the pkgs you 
want from external repos or you install a yum-plugin that gives you new ways 
to configure repos. I's suggest having a look att yum-plugin-protectbase 
and/or yum-plugin-priorities.
