removing door knob....but it won't budge

I'm trying to replace an old brass door knob. I've replaced others in the house but this one won't budge, it's stuck on the square rod that goes through the door to the handle on the opposite side. I can see no screws attaching either door handle to the square rod. Brute force isn't working, am I missing a trick here? The lock is one of those that has the mechanism in a rectangular metal box screwed to the door.

I don't understand this - what handle? What sort of screws are the three that "secure the handle to the door"? What do they screw into? Any chance of a photo?
