rsh and rsync


I have downloaded cygwin today.

Doing rsync from Windows 2000 (running cygwin) to NetBSD Unix box with
the following:

rsync -av "test.txt" root@myunixServer:/sd0/rsync

I got the following error:
-------------------------------------
Runs commands on remote hosts running the RSH service.

RSH host [-l username] [-n] command

  host            Specifies the remote host on which to run command.
  -l username     Specifies the user name to use on the remote host. If
                  omitted, the logged on user name is used.
  -n              Redirects the input of RSH to NULL.
  command         Specifies the command to run.

rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at
/tmp/rsync-2.5.6/i
o.c(177)
-------------------------------------

The rshd is running on NetBSD, .rhosts is setup and I tried "rsh" standalone
and run fine. Looked like the rsh usage is 

'RSH host [-l username] [-n] command'

but the "rsh" in rsync expected a different format.
On Unix boxes, it is:

rsh [-nd] [-l login] [login@]host [command]

What's wrong with this picture?

BTW, when specified "ssh" as the shell, rsync worked fine.
