I've had this problem for some time now, and just getting around to 
doing something about it.  I'll keep the description as brief as possible.

 I'm rsyncing from a linux server to a Windows XP machine's firewire 
drive via SSH\cygwin\rsync.  The linux server pushs with the following 
command.

/usr/local/bin/rsync -e ssh --recursive --verbose --delete --force 
--update /mnt/hd/mail_store/ 
jackcorn AT 192 DOT 168 DOT 66 DOT 99:/cygdrive/i/backups/webs_data/

192.168.66.99 == My Workstation. (Windows XP + Cygwin)
/cygdrive/i == 250GB firewire drive on my workstation. (NTFS)
jackcorn == a Local user on my workstation.  (Didn't want to bother with 
a domain account)

it appears that any file owned by root once on it's NTFS filesystem 
after the backup can be opened successfully.  However any file owned by 
vpopmail:vchkpw cannot be opened. 

-rw-r--r--   1 root     root   167851 2005-10-04 15:33 byebye.sh
-rwx--x--x   1 vpopmail vchkpw  55996 2005-06-28 14:44 clearopensmtp*
(In this case I can open byebye.sh on the firewire drive after the 
backup, but not the clearopensmtp)

The only way I can access those files are to "Replace permission entries 
on all child....yatta yatta" under the Advanced Security Settings under 
windows.  However there are a couple hundred thousand files in there and 
that can take some time.

I've tried with the -g -o -p options with rsync and I've also tried 
using CYGWIN=nontsec or CYGWIN=ntsec under the windows Enviro Variables, 
with no luck.

Is there anyway I can map the vpopmail user to a windows local user?  Or 
does anyone know what else to do?
