Windows XP 5.1.2600/Rsync freezes and does not copy any files

[David Secret]

I was trying to tunnel a file transfer via SSH from a Windows XP 
5.1.2600 machine to a Windows 2003 machine, it seemed SSH was freezing 
but after further testing rsync seems completely incapable of 
operation.  Doing a simple:

$ ls /tmp/a
a.txt b.txt c.txt

cd /tmp
rsync -r -vvvvv a b
cmd= machine= user= path=b
cmd=. b
(rsync then does NOTHING for hours.)
(Hitting ^C results in:)
_exit_cleanup(code=20, file=/home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.3/rsync.c 
line=231): entered
rsync error: received SIGUSR1 or SIGINT (code 20) at 
/home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.3/rsync.c(231)
_exit_cleanup(code=20, file=/home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.5.3/rsync.c 
line=231: about to call exit(20)_exit_cleanup(code=20, 
file=/home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.3/main.c, line=965): entered
..

Any ideas what is going on?  It won't even copy a simple 3 file 
directory where the files are around 10 bytes each.  This works GREAT 
under Windows 2003, and Windows 2000... If you have any ideas of how to 
debug this, or where to look it would be greatly appreciated.  Please 
cc: my email address on any replies :)
