I have had this same problem....It appears you need to have.rhosts files present on your computer to handle the authentication, unfortunately it presents it own security issues and seems to be too insecure for remote backups. I read about it here if you want more info..

I am looking into Rsync and ssh as an alternative. Would be curious to hear from others on a possible better choice...
