You are right, I just did not include it as I thought it would be implicit to all. Sorry about the confusion.

In that case, in addition to the above error, rsync should have also
output a big, long usage message (on stderr).  You can get the usage
message on stdout via "rsync --help".  It would be very strange if
the usage message were not printed.



bash-2.05b$ rsync -avc --progress --stats rsh="ssh -l adminuser" rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync /cygdrive/g/source/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/My/Shared/Volume/






Yes, of course. Next time I should RTFM, ay!

Great advice about setting the environment variable. Do I set this in the environment variable tab on the Windows machine under System Properties as you would under Cygwin?

You missed the "--" in front of the --rsh and --rsync-path options, so
rsync complained that it each one wasn't found as a file.  Also, you
must not both specify "-l adminuser" to ssh and "adminuser@" -- choose
one or the other (since they both do the same thing).  I'd recommend
setting "RSYNC_RSH=ssh" in your environment so that you don't need to
specify "--rsh=ssh" (which just makes the commands easier to type) and
then using the "adminuser@" prefix to control the user.
