Re: Rsync issue - can it handle files larger than 2 gigabytes?

Looks to me like you're running into 32-bit integer overflows.
While Cygwin internals don't support 64-bit either, judging from the output above, I'm guessing that rsync problem you're seeing is
internal to rsync. A closer look at the code would help you determine
that for sure. In any case, this is an indication that file sizes beyond 2GB don't work.

rsync internals sould actually be 64-bit based.
Michael, what version are you using exactly?
latest is:

$ rsync --version
rsync  version 2.5.5  protocol version 26

Capabilities: 32-bit files, socketpairs, hard links, symlinks, batchfiles,
             no IPv6, 32-bit system inums, 64-bit internal inums
