I'm running windows XP
Cygwin with latest updates

I have a bash script that sets up a directory structure for rsync to 
perform incremental backups. It all works fine locally.

I'd like to use the same approach to backup my local files to a windows 
network share on a server.

I have the windows network share mounted by /etc/fstab to a directory in 
my root folder. Cygwin can read and create/delete files and directories 
on the mount point but when I execute an rsync command from the script 
it contacts the daemon and begins to send the file list but then it fails.

error is

rsync: read error: Software caused connection abort (113).

I also get a mkdir and chroot error if I try to save backup copies 
within rsync.

it seems the rsync instance doesn't have appropriate permissions on the 
mounted network share.

Is there a workaround for this ....? the way I mount the share in 
/etc/fstab perhaps?

current mount looks like this:

//networkshare/backup/daily /backups   smbfs user,posix=0,noacl

thanks in advance for any help.

Dan
