Cygwin does give reasonably unix-like paths, but I think there is
still a long-standing bug between Cygwin sshd and rsync that
causes the hang.  If you do a test by hand copying a small
directory it may work but I've ever been able to copy a large
directory or full machine either with backuppc or a manual
invocation of rsync.  It does work when you run rsync in daemon
mode on the windows side and it will work manually in the other
direction, running 'rsync -essh ...' on Cygwin with the remote
side on Linux.
