Yes, a well known problem.
See for example thread entitled "cwRsync 2.5.7" dated 2003-12-10.
Tevfik Karag?lle (see aforementioned thread) has released a fixed version - I
have not yet tried it but hope to do so in the next day or two.
I have reverted to rsync 2.5.5 that has always worked reliably for me in
cygwin, but from this list I understand that some people have problems with
that version too.
