Windows systems have a great "feature" - even administrators can't
access files for which they don't have permissions (I'm not talking
about files exclusively opened, which is something else).
To read files which are normally inaccessible because of insufficient
permissions, Windows administrator can use Windows backup API.
Unfortunately, rsync Windows port doesn't seem to use this feature.
There was a similar thread about it 4 years ago - did anything change in
rsync from this time?

I asked at Cygwin mailing list, and I'm glad to know that this issue is
fixed in the recent snapshots of Cygwin: just replace your cygwin1.dll
library with a recent snapshot from http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ and
rsync on Windows will be able to open the files where Administrator is
not allowed to.
See the whole thread here:

Great!
