The original posting had the cygcheck information but it was in-lined
unfortunately. :-(  See:

<http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-05/msg00963.html>

Here's a few things to check Lapo:

  1. Are you sure rsync is complaining about ssh and not one of the other
     parameters?

  2. Does it work when invoked directly from the command line?  Does using
     /bin/sh help?
