After a little more poking around, it seems the problem goes away if one of the networks is disabled. Next thing for me to try: binding rsync to the correct network and leaving both active.
At the risk of stating what you already know, Administrators in Windows don't automatically have access to everything (unlike root) and it's possible for a user to revoke access to the Administrator account or to the Administrator group. If you have the user's credentials, you should be able to grant permission to either or both. > Michael Stowe wrote: >> 2) I recently experienced this on an XP laptop after upgrading >> cygwin/rsync after several hundred successful backups.
