I share your pain. Having read all the documents I can find, and having applied all the tweaks this group has suggested, rsync *insists* on a password supplied to it from the keyboard even when invoked from a shell script, and *refuses* to recognize key-based or password-based authorization (except for a password typed on a kbd). I guess my name is 'cron' until ssh-for-dummies comes out.
