No, the samba share part of mail was describing that I am using samba to be my Primary Domain Controller, because I thought that might have some effect on user ids.
rsync access is via a rsync daemon running on the linux machine. I forgot to mention but Cygwin is setup as "ntsec tty" I know cygwin "plays" with the win2k user ids and group names to get them to look like linux users and paths so I thought maybe this was the problem. The rsync documentation says it matches users and group names by their names rather than use the ids directly, but it does have a mention of the case when the *source* is an rsync server so maybe this feature just doesn't work very well when using an rsync server as opposed to ssh for rsync's transport.
