If the source path is given as "Documents and
Settings\Amministratore\Desktop", rsync can access the source files
just fine because Cygwin knows to split the path at backslashes.
However, rsync considers the path to be a single component, includes
it in the file list because there's no trailing slash, and tries to
recreate it inside the destination.  Adding a trailing slash in the
command should solve the problem.
