It's in the archives - answer in the OpenSSH FAQ at
http://www.openssh.org/faq.html#3.10 I'm on the ball with this because I
just looked it up myself, having encountered a similar problem when I wanted
to leave a big rsync running in the background. However, the answer did work
for me.
I did
shopt -s huponexit
followed by
nohup rsync options &
and the rsync was working away. I then exited the remote shell, and the ssh
session ended correctly. However, despite the nohup the rsync was killed.
