Again, slighty off topic, but I use deltacopy/rsync to sync from windows
to my linux server.  And, i have an external USB disk on the linux
server, formatted NTFS.

One thing that I've hit is that the ntfs-3g filesystem on the linux
machine (which is what I am using to mount the external usb drive) loses
its original date/timestamp - all files moved there directly through
deltacopy/rsync get the current time/date.  Of course if you don't care
about time/date stamps this doesn't matter.  

A workaround is to rsync to an ext3 drive and then sudo rsync to the
usb drive (if I remember correctly).
