Looks to me like you're running into 32-bit integer overflows. While Cygwin internals don't support 64-bit either, judging from the output above, I'm guessing that rsync problem you're seeing is internal to rsync. A closer look at the code would help you determine that for sure. In any case, this is an indication that file sizes beyond 2GB don't work.
