This option allows you to provide a password in a file for
accessing a remote rsync server. Note that this option
is only useful when accessing a rsync server using the
built in transport, not when using a remote shell as the
transport. The file must not be world readable. It should
contain just the password as a single line.
RSYNC_PASSWORD
Setting RSYNC_PASSWORD to the required password allows you to
run authenticated rsync connections to a rsync daemon without
user intervention. Note that this does not supply a password
to a shell transport such as ssh.
Perhaps the file's permissions are wrong? Are you using ssh?
Have you tried rsync -vvv > file?
