FYI, you don't have to setup an rsync server to sync between machines.
 rsync works very well across ssh.  For example, if you've setup key
based SSH access from hostA to hostB, on hostA you can execute:
  rsync sourcedir hostB:/path/to/targetdir

If you're very paranoid you can setup the SSH trust to only allow the
rsync and not shell access.

FWIW, I've attached a wrapper script I often use for this type of thing.
