You've left out the '-R' option, which was the other half of Wayne's 
response (the '-R' option and the '/./' in the source):

"C:\Program Files (x86)\cwRsync\bin\rsync" -Rav "/cygdrive/e/fileserver/Worksheets/reconcil/./Fiducie Desjardins/Dailies/cl0016062moveq20101110.txt" "lba023::Rsync/"

-R (part of the '-Rav' [equivalent to -avR or -a -v -R]), short for 
--relative, is what makes the difference: it tells rsync that the '/./' 
in the first path name is where the path starts (the client will send 
everything after the /./ as the path name).

Wayne's original explanation:
