sh -c ls works. However, the the original problem was that this little 
shell script is not working:

#!/usr/bin/sh
/bin/rsync -Cavz -e "/usr/bin/ssh" /cygdrive/d/ server:/home/ml/backups/

Error is:
rsync: Failed to exec "ssh: No such file or directory (2)
rsync error: error in IPC code (code 14) at 
/home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.6/pipe.c(83)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at 
/home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.6/io.c(434)

rsync cannot find /usr/bin/ssh, but it is there.
I also tried just "ssh", since it is in the path and /bin/ssh.

Thanks,
ml
