That's a message from the Cygwin DLL (cygwin1.dll) that generally 
means that it detected an existing, but incompatible, version of 
itself in memory.  Depending on the release of cygwin1.dll you may 
get various other information.

But in almost all cases, it means that you have multiple versions of
cygwin1.dll on your system (always a bad idea unless you're very
careful), and rsync found a copy that was different than some other
Cygwin binary you are already running.

The cygcheck utility will search your path for any Cygwin DLLs, but if
the conflicting one isn't in your default path but just in the current
directory with some other binary, it might miss it.  Doing a flat out
find on your entire system for cygwin1.dll should be a good start
however.
