This doesn't seems cygwin-related.. if rsync decided to "map" uid basing
on the similarity of the name (which can be a good or a bad thing, I can
think of both examples) or not it's more of a rsync-related feature.
So I'd suggest to use rsync@lists.samba.org

BTW: why the samba share? are you using rsync *or* samba to transfer the
file? or rsync over samba?
