Actually, the problem I was having with rsync/cygwin and codepages was caused by cygwin's modification of file paths, ie. some Japanese encodings can cause a filename to have three backslashes (when viewed in Japanese it doesn't of course) in it.
Cygwin seemed to be kicking in when it saw the backslashes to try and map windows drive shares or something like that. In the end I gave up and changed what I was doing to remain on linux and ended up using cygwin only for the very final stage (it is an automated backup system). --------------------------------- Q-Games, Dylan Cuthbert. http://www.q-games.com -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
