Unfortunately I had no time to investigate any further (the workstation is down right now so I can't provide any logs). Should I use "CYGWIN=ntsec tty" with DeltaCopy, too? Whatever virtual directory I defined didn't show up when I connected (rsync -av u...@host::), only the standard share "Backup" was displayed. Are you running the 64bit version?
