The sync scripts using dsh are pretty much useless without a ssh-agent set up as you get asked a billion times for your password. They should check the environment and tell you you're being dumb if it's not there... or else maybe pop you into a temporary ssh-agent so you only need to verify your key passphrase once at the start.
Added: if [ ! -S "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" ]; then echo >&2 "SSH_AUTH_SOCK not set or not pointing to a socket." echo >&2 "Did you start your ssh-agent?" exit 1 fi to sync-common-file and scap.
