Under Cygwin, `set | grep UID` gives me :
EUID=11385
UID=11385

On the server side, the files are indeed owned by 11385, but this id
doesn't match DOMAIN\testuser, which id is 10000, set by winbind. Rsync
seems to work as if I had used the --numeric-ids ; maybe it's a more a
cygwin problem than a rsync one ? I've tried to compile rsync-2.6.3pre1
under cygwin, without any improvements.
