rsync - Mar 2002 - rsync over commercial SSH?

I get the following error running rsync 2.5.2 on AIX 4.3 in combination
with SSH Secure Shell 2.3.0.
> rsync -e ssh myuserid@localhost:/tmp
myuserid's password:
/bin/ksh: rsync:  not found.
unexpected EOF in read_timeout

This is using the SSH Communications Security Corp version of ssh. I also
get the same error talking to another host which is also running commercial
ssh.

Note: my PATH is set to include /usr/local/bin which is where rsync and ssh
are installed. rsync was installed from the binary distribution.

Now interestingly enough if I try the same test, but this time
communication with a Linux box which is running OpenSSH, things work as
expected. e.g.

rsync -e ssh linuxid@linuxhost.kp.org:/tmp
Host key not found from database.
Key fingerprint:
gfsdgfg-sdsdfsdf-sdfsdf ....
You can get a public key's fingerprint by running
% ssh-keygen -F public-key
on the keyfile.
Are you sure you want to continue (yes/no)? yes
Host key saved to /home/...
host key for ...
linuxid's password:
drwxr-xr-x     552 2002/03/12 16:25:36 tmp
wrote 24 bytes read 38 bytes 5.90 bytes/sec
total size is 0 speedup is 0.00

Any ideas?

Sure, but on the other side of the connection, you can bet that
the PATH is not set right.  Try using the full path to ssh.
