Syncd asks for SSH password, but doesn't allow enough time for it to be entered.

I'm having an issue with syncd, where having set it up as per the ReadMe, on making any changes I am not given any time to enter my ssh password and get an error.

Steps to replicate:

1. Run syncd start
2. Make changes to a file (with file and terminal open side by side)
3. Go to terminal, (see pasted output below)

The password prompt appears mulitple times, but automatically goes straight to permission denied a number of times, without me having had the chance to enter my ssh password. As expected this causes rsync to fail.

Syncd then appears to hang, and there is no further updates to the output. However, while further changes do get added to the log, nothing gets synced.

Output from command:

Update.

Just to note syncd isn't hanging, and continues to fire out the above output to the terminal on any change made to a file in the watched directories.
