It works for me too.  Thanks.

An alternative to the system-wide variable is to add

    --env CYGWIN=nontsec

to the cygrunsrv command-line when you install rsyncd as a service, eg:

    cygrunsrv -I rsyncd --env CYGWIN=nontsec -p c:/cygwin/bin/rsync.exe -a "--config=/etc/rsyncd.conf --daemon --no-detach"
