Example command:

parallel-rsync -z -r -O 'IdentityFile=/home/james/Projects/ssh/control.pem' -l control -H ec2-46-51-187-11.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com -H ec2-176-34-215-214.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com '/home/james/test.txt' '/tmp/'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/parallel-rsync", line 125, in <module>
    do_prsync(hosts, local, remote, opts)
  File "/usr/bin/parallel-rsync", line 78, in do_prsync
    cmd = ['rsync', '-e', ' '.join(ssh)]
TypeError: sequence item 2: expected string, list found

1) This is a bug in the parallel-rsync command at /usr/bin, and in the pssh package (apt-cache policy pssh):
pssh:
  Installed: 2.2.2-1
  Candidate: 2.2.2-1
  Version table:
 *** 2.2.2-1 0
        500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/universe i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

2) On Ubuntu 12.04 (lsb_release -rd):
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
Release: 12.04

3) I expect a return value of 0, and for the file to have been uploaded to all the remote servers by rsync

4) I got the error shown above.
