This is a long-standing issue in cygwin or WinXX, not related to BackupPC.
The problem is that the sequence of bytes returned when a directory is
read by rsync on cygwin don't allow you to open the file when you call
open() with that same sequence of bytes. So rsync reports the file as
vanished, since it can't open it after reading the directory to get the
file name.
You can google for "file has vanished rsync cygwin". One example thread
is:
