I'd like to use rsync to keep a tree on a removable disk in sync but 
even the simplest local to local rsync hangs.  Here's what I see:

% rsync -rvvvvvvv a a.new
FILE_STRUCT_LEN=16, EXTRA_LEN=4
cmd=<NULL> machine=<NULL> user=<NULL> path=a.new
cmd[0]=. cmd[1]=a.new
note: iconv_open("CP1252", "CP1252") succeeded.
...hangs...

rsync -v says 'rsync  version 3.0.4  protocol version 30'

I see there are dozens of messages about rsync and sshd/rsyncd, but 
is that machinery required to be in place for local to local copies?

p.s.
The big picture, as I allude to above, is to keep a removable disk in 
sync with the drive on my laptop, without having to backup/copy the 
whole works every time.  If there some simpler utility you'd 
recommend for that (Cygwin or not), I'm open to suggestions.
