I've fought this for awhile now. I can't figure it out. I copied the script
to a linux machine and it works flawlessly, same rsync server. The command
that is the root of all evil (my problem, in cygwin) :

/usr/bin/rsync -qaz --partial --delete --timeout=4 \
rsync://server.xyz.com/o/test/ /cygdrive/d/remote/backup.current/o/
