rsync - Apr 2003 - rsync: connection unexpectedly closed

Hi,

I am getting the following error when I try to rsync using ssh on a Redhat 
7.2 box of another RedHat 7.2 box. I am running a OpenSSH_3.5p1 and rsync  
version 2.5.6.

One clue is, it works fine if i do it as root!!! Could be permission issues, 
but on what? I have checked permissions on all the relevant config. files as 
well as files/directories involved.

Any ideas/tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
[rsync@cvsrep rsync]$ rsync -v rsync@panacea::build_dir tmp 
--rsh=/usr/bin/ssh

Argument order is significant.  Are you intending to use ssh
to connect to panacea and then to an rsync daemon on that
machine?  Do read the usage examples.
