Case retensive filesystem on w2k, case sensitive filesystem on Linux. rsync
compares case sensitive. But names may be delivered all lower or upper case
from Linux.
Other possibility: rysnc tries to rename an open file --- disallowed by
w2k, since file handles depend on filenames, not nodenumbers as is the case
for Linux.
Third possibility: rsync tries to rename a file with an already existing
name (think this is the case here). W2k does not permit this. In this case
the error should read "File name xyz already exists.".
