I'm sure, too. Apparently, you can't start a filename with a period in Win, either, as my previous examples showed.

1120817285.22306_0.mail (works fine)
.1124450874.30945_0.mail (reports 0KB)
.1123700716.P14142Q0M23.mail (reports 0KB)
.1087907444.7006_1.mail.domain.com,U=1,W=42566 (reports 0KB)

Is it possible for Cygwin to emulate an ext2 or ext3 partition on the NTFS drive? The other idea I had was to have a dual-bootsystem and actually back up when booted in Linux, but obviously this seriously complicates the automation process.> Yep. I'm sure.

There's no colon's in your filenames there.

Can't have these characters in a filename:
\ / : * ? " < > |

You can't have a file called:
1124816518.8634_2.mailbox:2,S

Sure about that?

1115996480.12736_4.ritalin.autolinq.com,S=7399_2,S

No problem on NTFS or fat32.  These were extracted from a tar, not
directly created using rsync though.
