I have rsync 2.6.6 on unix source to a cygwin setup on a Windows 2003
server. Was working well, then I moved a folder down one subdirectory
and started getting the following. I assume this means it is having
problems with the length of the file name? I have the same problem with
long file names using cwRsync. Are there any options other than
modifying the file names?

backup# ./820.remote-backup

I googled a bit and found the following, is this patch a possibility? How would I apply that to my cygwin package?

P.S. - Sorry for the word wrap, I have not figured out how to avoid in
Evo 2.4
