Hi,
 
David pointed it right. The problem was with sshd_config file. After changing sshd_config, the permission issue disappeared.
 
Now I am getting below error during rsync. Please let me know if you have faced this before.
 
select: Bad file number
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(434)

TIA
Shahul

Check your sshd_config file, which has an option PermitRootLogin
which is "no" by default.

Note that this is a bit of a security risk, we do rsync backups
over NFS so we don't have to open this up.
