Lapo,
First, please excuse the use of M$ Outlook. I hope that this message will
not be so mangled that you can not read it.
And excuse me for quoting the entire, message but I'm using it also as a
forward to the correct place the question should be (the mailing list
cygwin@cygwin.com).
The problem is not with rsync itself but in the way cygwin maps windows
paths to posix paths, if I remember well UNC paths aren't supported at all.

From the manual, related but I think outdated:

Second, I do not know if you are the person that would be interested in the
problem. I am a Un*x administrator that has been pushed into supporting a
few applications on NT while the developers move onto the Solaris systems.
To make a long story short, I looked a using rsync much the way I would on
my Un*x systems. I need to copy web content from the QA environment to the
production environment. I would like to do this from cron without the use
of mapping a drive. So I tried the following command:
rsync -vr --perms --stats --progress //nelinalige/webprod/survey .
The system I ran this on was my workstation with cygwin. I do not know
exactly how to tell what version of cygwin I have, but I just ran the update
a little while ago and had it update everything.
I have attached the strace output of the command shown above. Thank you for
any assistance that you may be able to provide.
