Thanks.  I had already tried (although I knew it was irrelevant, as 
double quotes are fine for quoting an argument in bash).

$ ls -l /cygdrive/m/"Music Converted"
total 12532
-rwxr-xr-x+ 1 MrC ???????? 12568746 Sep  4 11:42 Database.mpl
drwxr-xr-x+ 1 MrC ????????        0 Sep  4 11:41 Music
drwxr-xr-x+ 1 MrC ????????        0 Sep  4 11:42 Playlists

$ rsync --dry-run --delete -uvxhir /cydrive/m/Music\ Converted /cygdrive/G/
sending incremental file list
rsync: change_dir "/cydrive/m" failed: No such file or directory (2)
