Rsync files with long filename

Hello all,

I'm currently using rsync to sync a large directory of user files to a
remote server. All is working well, except that files with ridiciously
long file names appear to be skipped.

E.g

skipping overly long name: sys/HOME/USERNAME/USERNAMElt/Documents and
Settings/USERNAME/Local Settings/Temporary Internet
Files/Content.IE5/30HEX8MB/site=telstra&affiliate=Telstra_Mobiles&positi
on=creative1&section=mobile_pricing_options&adsize=variable&transactionI
D=971509383441462[1]

Of course, this is just a temp file, however a number of important files
are not being copied.

My setup (which otherwise is working well) is rsyncing between two w2k3
machines with cygwin.

Rsync command: 

$RSYNC -vrpogtz --delete \
   --exclude=.mappedfiles --include-from=$RCONF \
   --modify-window 10 $RHOST::backup$SPATH $DPATH

With all paramaters set correctly

Any suggestions?

Thanks

-nick
