Yes, Rob meant for us RSYNC users: set CYGWIN=NONTSEC
... because NTSEC (the default) causes much trouble with the NT permissions
on RSYNC'ed files. A web search shows that _many_ people run into these
problems. So maybe for RSYNC the default NTSEC isn't a good idea. I'm on edge
how Cygwin 1.7 solves or rather handles this problem.
