You should probably ask for support from the cwRsync project.

OpenSSH invokes "/bin/sh -c proxycmd" (see sshconnect.c line 98 in the 
4.7 sources) and the cwRsync package does not include sh. Even if you 
included sh.exe in your installation directory, I doubt it would work 
because you won't have the Cygwin mount table setup so that /bin/sh 
would map to the correct directory.

You really should raise this with the cwRsync developers.
