You need to mount your Win98 partition, then you can access it like:

rsync /source /mnt/Win98partition

If you don't want that you need to run rsync on Win98 as server.
Look out for cwrsync (rsync with cygwin). But I don't know if
or how good that works on Win98.

Now you're talking about windows. I don't know how to authenticate
programmatically. I'd access the shared drive manually in explorer
so Windows will ask me for the password. Once access is granted
rsync shouldn't have any problems either.

What NAS are you using? Doesn't it have a builtin rsync daemon
running? Or maybe you could add one?
