The usual approach here would probably be to set up an SSH keypair and
install the "keychain" program (not Apple's KeyChain) to keep the key
active for non-interactive shells. But that's a lot of setup work.
If rsync is actually using rsh instead of ssh, you could set up a
.rhosts file on the remote system to allow connections without a
password, but that's generally a really bad idea securitywise.
So yeah, I'd use expect to script the interactive interaction with rsync.
