[CentOS] Re: securing rsync over ssh This may address your problem. While this use of ssh is new to me a quick read and there is a facility to run a specific command and associate that specific command with a specific ssh public/private key pair. In that post the OP was looking for ways to expand the limitations i.e. he was trying to work around a natural action that it sounds like the OP on this thread was looking for.
