ssh config conflicts with rsync (and possibly other things)

After adding 

```
Host examplehost
    RemoteForward 52698 localhost:52698
    User user
```
to `.ssh/config`. I can no longer use `rsync` to copy it seems. I get the following error:

`Warning: remote port forwarding failed for listen port 52698`


Is there  a way to set things up so that both RemoteSubl and other things that use ssh such as rsync work?
