[courier-users] Using rsync to backup maildirs from Cygwin

[jason]

Ok, so I will admit the only tangental relationship of this to courier, but 
I am trying to use the combination of openssh + cygwin on WinXP to do some 
basic network backups of Maildir directories running on a RedHat + courier 
server. 

The problem appears to be related to the cygwin port of the ssh client's 
ability to handle Maildir file names. When I run a command such as: 

$ rsync --rsh="ssh -p 9923" -av 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/mail/jason/Maildir/cur .

THis is being run from within a bash shell on cygwin. 

Any suggestions on how to make this work without all the errors? I know that 
I could instead create tarballs of user maildirs, but that would defeat the 
incremental transfer abilities of rsync. 

Thanks,
jason
