I have been waiting for someone to comment on this as I have
had the same problem in the past. Using rsync on cygwin on
NT or 2000 is flaky and unreliable unfortunately.
Using smbclient on a linux box to mount a data drive on a 2000
or NT box and using rsync with the --modify-window=10 and
excluding the System Volume Information folder makes everything
work very well. This is a great way to do offsite backups.
