What version on rsync are you using on Windows? The cygwin one?
Cygwin doesn't have unicode support, so it is unable to access filenames
with different charset letters in them. This could be your problem.

Chris January has made a patch for cygwin unicode support a couple of months
ago, but so far it hasn't been accepted in cygwin mainline.
