Rsync windows vista permissions problems

[Doug Lochart]

We have hit the same problem and what we found out was that Vista
changed something and either rsync or cygwin can't determine the
permissions and so nothing (or null) is sent across and this seems to
cause the directory to be created this way.  We have only seen this on
Vista and have since backed off our deployment on Vista
