Path issue with windows shell

[Matthew Lagoe]

im having a problem with paths, when i use /cygdrive/l in the windows shell
it doesn't work however when i use it in the cygwin shell it works fine


Cygwin
===========================================
Matthew@Matthew-PC /cygdrive/l/leveldesign
$ rsync -avrP --chmod=a=rw,Da+x --delete /cygdrive/l
rsync://testuser@remoteserver.com/testuser/0
sending incremental file list

sent 46455 bytes  received 273 bytes  31152.00 bytes/sec
total size is 18388593  speedup is 393.52

windows shell
===========================================
C:\>rsync -avrP --chmod=a=rw,Da+x --delete /cygdrive/l
rsync://testuser@remoteserver.com/testuser/0
sending incremental file list
rsync: link_stat "/cygdrive/l" failed: No such file or directory (2)
FATAL I/O ERROR: dying to avoid a --delete-during issue with a pre-3.0.7
receiver.
rsync error: requested action not supported (code 4) at
/home/lapo/package/rsync-3.0.9-1/src/rsync-3.0.9/flist.c(1800)
[sender=3.0.9]



am I missing something?

/cygdrive/c works fine in both


The windows shell only see's the "C" drive even with ls

C:\>ls /cygdrive/
C


Cygwin however see's everything

Matthew@Matthew-PC /cygdrive/l/leveldesign
$ ls /cygdrive
c  f  h  l  r  w


Thank you
