rsync problem... windows cmd vs. cygwin terminal

I'm using rsync on cygwin to syncronize a bunch of remote machines to a
central machine.

I'm planning on automating it to run regularly with windows scheduler, so I
have some batch files with the rsync command.

When I run batch file from like a Windows cmd window it gives me an error
with rsync tries to move the temp file to the perm file:

rename .Types.dbf.002724 -> Types.dbf : no such file or directory

Yet when I run this from a cygwin terminal window it works just dandy.

I guess its a difference of using the cygwin.dll to run rsync/ssh/etc FROM
windows, rather then in the cygwin environment proper.  Is there any way to
correct this problem, or do I just need to set up a cron from withing the
cygwin environment?

Thanks,
-k
