Cygwin, Rsync, and Raid5

Hello all!
I've got CGYWIN running on an NT4 server, which in turn allows me to run Rsync as a daemon on this system. And might I say, it works most excellently, except for one flaw. It doesn't work on my raid drive(s). I have a 56 gig NTFS RAID5 drive running off an adaptec raid-port controller card. I have two other drives in this system, a 4 gig SCSI boot drive, and 60 gig IDE drive. I can Rsync off the 4 gig SCSI, and 60 gig IDE, but when I try to rsync off the RAID5 setup, the client fails.
root at antitrust:/usr/storage/raid5# rsync -a --stats 10.10.10.15::d ./
@ERROR: chdir failed
rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(151)
I've done some poking around for this @ERROR: chdir failed, but with no luck.
If I try on the IDE drive:
root at antitrust:/usr/storage/raid5# rsync -av --stats 10.10.10.15::e/users/james/SSH ./
receiving file list ... done
.... and so on until it completes.
so you can see that it works. Here is my config:
use chroot = false
strict modes = false
hosts allow = *
[c]
path = /cygdrive/c <- this is my 4gig scsi
read only = yes
list = no
[d]
path = /cygdrive/d <- this is my 5 disc SCSI RAID5
read only = yes
list = yes
[e]
path = /cygdrive/e <- this is my 60 gig IDE
read only = yes
list = yes
Any light anyone could shed on this issue would be most helpful, as the data I really wish to backup is on the RAID obviously.
Cheers,
James
