The page at the following address gives some examples
of this:

I think this is what you are after.

Mainly using the (csh example) the following in
the script file you are using:
  setenv  RSYNC_PASSWORD  plaintextpassword
(better ways of doing this?)

Ssh is asking you for the password.  However, the --password-file option
(as well as the RSYNC_PASSWORD environment variable) only affects
transfers to an rsync daemon, which you are not using (the rsync daemon
syntax requires 2 colons after the hostname).

So, you either need to switch over to using an rsync daemon (and leave
the "-e ssh" option off), or you need to setup ssh so that it
doesn't
prompt you for a password (testing it w/o rsync first is easiest).

One way to setup ssh is to enable an RSA authorized key on the server
you're connecting to.  Look for the discussion of the files identity,
identity.pub, and authorized_keys.
