Looks to me like you're running into 32-bit integer overflows.
While Cygwin internals don't support 64-bit either, judging from 
the output above, I'm guessing that rsync problem you're seeing is
internal to rsync.  A closer look at the code would help you determine
that for sure.  In any case, this is an indication that file sizes 
beyond 2GB don't work.
