Just to be clear: rsync isn't asking for the password, ssh is. I'd
recommend testing a simpler ssh command until you get it working without
a password, and then use that setup to make rsync's use of ssh work
without a password. Like this remote run of "uptime":
ssh -i /root/.ssh/rsync-key -v -l backup mcncyo.homeip.net uptime
There's a link of the "resources" page of the rsync web site that talks
about how to setup ssh to avoid password prompts:
http://rsync.samba.org/resources.html
(My guess is that the backup account doesn't have the key you're using
listed in its authorized-key list.)
