the rsync backend supports "rsync -e ssh" and "rsync rsync://"

yes you did, but anyway

the rsync backend in the current state lets ssh do a password prompt if 
the key authentication fails. This happens for every run of 'rsync -e 
ssh'. Unfortunately there is no way except pexpect (which i am in no 
mood to implement) to deliver a password through duzplicity to ssh.
As the prompt could be interpreted as feature and it stops the program 
flow I think it is better to disable it.
