Using RSync with NT/98

Hello,

I'm trying to get RSync to work between an NT workstation and a Win98
workstation.  Has anybody gotten this to work?

I know my NT workstation is set up correctly because I am able to RSync
between two NT workstations.  But when I try to RSync between an NT and
Win98 workstation I get a "pipe failed on do_recv" with an RSync exit
status of 10.

My NT workstation is set up to run RSync in daemon mode and it's
rsyncd.conf file looks like this:

use chroot = false
strict modes = false
hosts allow = *

[Test]
  comment = My Temp directory
  path = /cygdrive/c/Temp
  read only = yes
  list = yes


I issue this command on the Win98 workstation to start the RSync:

/bin/rsync.exe --verbose --stats --archive --one-file-system --rsync-path
='/bin/rsync.exe' --include='sitever.ini' --include='hclSetup.log'
--include='Update.zip' --exclude='*' onanmtso935::Test /cygdrive/c/Test


RSync produces the following output:

add_exclude(sitever.ini)
add_exclude(hclSetup.log)
add_exclude(Update.zip)
add_exclude(*)
local_version=24 remote_version=24
receiving file list ... recv_file_name(.)
recv_file_name(hclSetup.log)
recv_file_name(sitever.ini)
recv_file_name(Update.zip)
received 4 names

recv_file_list done
get_local_name count=4 /cygdrive/c/Test
pipe failed in do_recv


Any help would be greatly appreciated.
