Here the two \transpose commands are outside the staff! The staff contains 
just the immediately following expression, which is \rh in this case... 
So, your code is effectively the same as 

     \new Staff = "rh" \rh
     \new Staff \transpose c d \rh
     \new Staff \transpose c e \rh


What you rather want is that the two \transpose commands are also inside the 
staff's music expression. For this you have to put all the content for the 
staff inside curly brackets:

     \new Staff = "rh" {
                 \rh
                 \transpose c d \rh
                 \transpose c e \rh
      }

Now the staff contains the transpose commands as well, and your score should 
work.

Cheers,
Reinhold
