The cygwinb19.dll dependent tools (cygwin) often have problems
communicating with non-cygwinb19.dll dependent tools (native). Since
RSH is a native tool then it isn't going to understand the path
structure passed to it by tar.
There is a host of emulation being done. I suggest that if you can
get the source to RSH that you build it using the cygwin tools.
