What incorrect ownership did rsync set on the destination?  That might
give me a clue what the problem is.

Is the receiving rsync running as an administrator so that it has the
power to set ownership arbitrarily?  (Once it is, you may have to pass
--super to make sure it realizes that.)  Do you have entries in your
Cygwin /etc/passwd and /etc/group (see
http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html ) on both sides for all
the owners involved?
