Rsync, Cygwin, & SSH: ntsec OR nontsec?

[Brian]

Hi all,
Thank-you to all the developers for rsync.  It is 
very well done.

I have rsync running on various platforms 
connecting to the same server and all is good. 
Except for 1 Win2000 Prof. server.   I backup 
several directories with various permissions and 
users successfully.  However, there are 2 
directories that even though the permissions are 
the same as other directories that are backed up, 
these 2 get "permission denied" every time.  Rsync 
resets the server side permissions on these 2 
directories to "d---------".  So, I change the 
settings to 777 and rsync changes them back.  Does 
this have something to do with cygwin=ntsec or 
nontsec?  I am not using either of them right 
now--should I?  Also, I heard ssh has a problem 
with one of these settings.  Is that still the case?

Suggestions, please?

Brian
