Hmm, I'm not happy any more.

For me, rsync.exe 2.6.9-2 from Cygwin can't read long path names with 
the latest cygwin1.dll snapshot.

cwRsync (3.0.0) however, can read long filenames with the latest 
cygwin1.dll snapshot.


And there is more to it: neither rsync.exe 2.6.9-2 from Cygwin nor 
cwRsync (3.0.0) can read long path names when rsync is started as a 
Windows service (cygrunsrv 1.34-1).

Ideas why?
