   I think you want -e and the ssh command to be separate args.
Something like:

rshArg = '/usr/bin/ssh -i /home/bry/keys/brybackup.key'
args = [rsyncExec, '-a', '-v', '--dry-run', '-e', rshArg, source, dest]

or:

rshArgs = [ '-e', '/usr/bin/ssh -i /home/bry/keys/brybackup.key' ]
args = [rsyncExec, '-a', '-v', '--dry-run'] +  rshArgs + [ source, dest]
