I just discovered some additional information that may help get to the 
bottom of this.  Not sure what made me think of this, but I decided to try 
an older version of rsync.  If I run rsync 3.0.4-1 or 3.0.5-1, I experience 
the problem.  However, when I run 2.6.9-2, the only other version of rsync I 
can find built specifically for cygwin 1.7, the problem goes away and all 
works fine?

By the way Corinna, in case I didn't say it before, thank you very much for 
trying to help out and for the time you spend on this project!
