  Look at the From: line of your post.  "cygwin at cygwin dot com" is *not*

  Ok, so you've got an ancient version of rsync that the feature wasn't

  No, that's no use at all, because the result of the backticks would not be
the name of a file that contains a list of files to use, it would the
*contents* of the list.
