I am trying to use rdist as follows where distribute-me is the file to
distribute. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

rdist -c distribute-me -P /usr/bin/ssh slave_1:/tmp

slave_1:/tmp
slave_1: updating host slave_1
me(a)slave_1's password:
slave_1: /usr/bin/ssh: updating
slave_1: SLAVE_1: REMOTE ERROR: Cannot set file name.
slave_: updating of slave_1 finished

No, but maybe you can use
rsync -av distribute-me slave_1:/tmp

This gives me a different error.

/tmp ==>rsync -av distribute-me slave_1:/tmp
