We actually ask for *attachments* of cygcheck output, not inclusions.

This sounds like a firewall configuration problem rather than a Cygwin
software problem.  Didn't ZoneAlarm query you when you first tried the
rsync?  I thought that was it's modus operandi.  In any case, you need
to open port 873 for rsync to run at least.  You can check the man page
for more info.
