I asked Micheal Oswell for more details because perms are supported on 
cygwin (even on Win98, with the correct setup), it surely depends on the 
specific setup, e.g. on NTFS and recent cygwin they work for sure 
(cyberone is cygwin-1.3.22-1 and rsync-2.5.6-1 on NTFS on WinXP, cyberx 
is FreeBSD 4.8 and rsync 2.5.6):

Actually it seems to me the opposite: it has perms also without -p... 
maybe it is the default?
