This is pretty far off-topic here but if the only reason you
are setting up openfiler is for backups, perhaps you could
use something like backuppc (http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/)
and not have to re-invent so much.  Unfortunately there is
a long standing bug in the Cygwin sshd/rsync combination
so you can't simply configure it to use rsync over ssh (but
what was that bitwise ssh version you mentioned?).

I'd probably set up openvpn tunnels and use cygwin rsync
in daemon mode on the windows boxes to allow backuppc to
run its scheduled backups.
