Corinna, thanks to your post I did that now, but unfortunately RSYNC still 
resets my NT permissions.
Like Rob I use cygdrive paths.

Rob, how did you manage to keep the NT permissions with your RSYNC? For me it 
always sets own permissions, which then conflicts with my originaly NT 
permissions. Do you have to specify any special RSYNC parameter?

P.S. How can I see if my Cygwin has got version number "1.7" ?
