What commands are you using exactly? To or from the rescued host? Also, are you using ssh non-standard ports?
It is from the rescued host - basically a: rsync -essh otherhost:/path .
ssh otherhost 'cd /path && tar -cf - ' | tar -xvf - seems to be working, so it is not related to network connectivity or ssh.
That's odd, try rsync -e 'ssh -v' to get some more details. Also you will want to use some parameters to rsync (like -av or maybe even -z for compression etc).
I'm getting a usage: ssh [bunch of ssh options] like it is giving the wrong command line to ssh. Or maybe the lack of an /etc/ssh/ssh_config in this environment is breaking it, although my own ssh commands and connections seem to work. I haven't done the chroot into the installed mount since I was planning to overwrite it.
