rsync local code with a remote clearcase dynamic view

Question

I want to syncrhonize a local path with a dynamic clearcase view hosted in a remote machine only accesible through ssh:

local:/me | <== ssh == | me@remote_host:/vobs/me/view_1

Those familiar with clearcase know that in order create a dynamic view you must issue the following command in the remote host 'cleartool setview view_1' where view_1 is the reference to the pre-existant tagged dynamic view, problem is that when i try to run that command with the --rsync-path option to rsync, it never comes back:

$ rsync '--rsync-path=`cleartool setview view_BAAAAAD;/usr/bin/rsync`'  
 me@remote_host:/vobs/me/view_1 .

cleartool: Error: View tag not found: "setview view_BAAAAAD"

So it seems the command is actually issued, yet when i fed the correct tag:

$ rsync '--rsync-path=`cleartool setview view_1;/usr/bin/rsync`'  
me@remote_host:/vobs/me/view_1 .

Then it never comes back, when i use the command in the remote host through ssh it doesn't ask for input (neither tty or stdin).

So i'm stuck with using static views. Any idea?

PD:

• The actual scheme is a little bit more complicated since the ssh connection is forwarded
• I can use static views but i'd prefer dynamic ones
• I cannot install any daemon or script on the remote host

No you don't.

• You only have to start it: cleartool startview view_1
• And you can use it in /view/view_1/vobs/avob/....

Avoid setview which creates a subshell in which the PATH might not be correct.
