There was a bug in older versions of cygwin/rsync which did not work as a server over ssh. It would hang up, so you had to run rsync as a daemon and set up shares. However, that has since been fixed, so you should be able to run rsync/ssh just fine. I suspect your problem with BackupFileExclude

I did further test with different excludes. All with no success. i think the the rsyncsharename is the problem. The rsyncd config was clear as you define the share on the client in the rsyncd.conf. rsync on one of my nix machines work fine. So i think the rssyncsharename in is the problem and

You seem to be acting a twit, but I guess even twits deserve a little help. If you want the benefits of rsync then you must live with its limitations. I mean your living with SCO (SCO really, are you serious??!). If you can't manage to get SCO to behave then simply configure rsync in daemon mode
