Thanks for testing. I can't tell what's different about my cwrsync config so I strace'd a test mkdir with a period using a 1.7.0-48 and snapshot cygwin dll and looked for differences. I found several differences where a \ was at the end of some lines where it wasn't in the successfull pass. I've reduced the strace from an unsuccessful run to this: mount_info::conv_to_posix_path: conv_to_posix_path (C:\Program Files\ICW\Bin\, no-keep-rel, add-slash) normalize_win32_path: C:\Program Files\ICW\Bin\ = normalize_win32_path (C:\Program Files\ICW\Bin\) mount_info::conv_to_posix_path: /Bin/ = conv_to_posix_path (C:\Program Files\ICW\Bin\) cwdstuff::get: posix /Bin/ cwdstuff::get: (/Bin/) = cwdstuff::get (0xA701A0, 32768, 1, 0), errno 0 normalize_posix_path: /Bin//.test = normalize_posix_path (.test) mount_info::conv_to_win32_path: conv_to_win32_path (/Bin//.test) set_flags: flags: binary (0x2) mount_info::conv_to_win32_path: src_path /Bin//.test, dst C:\Program Files\ICW\Bin\\.test, flags 0x3000A, rc 0 __set_errno: save_errno::~save_errno():47 val 0 __set_errno: save_errno::~save_errno():47 val 0 symlink_info::check: 0xC0000033 = NtQueryInformationFile (\??\C:\Program Files\ICW\Bin\\.test) symlink_info::check: not a symlink symlink_info::check: 0 = symlink.check (C:\Program Files\ICW\Bin\\.test, 0x223848) (0x3000A) mount_info::conv_to_win32_path: conv_to_win32_path (/Bin/) Where a successful run produces this: mount_info::conv_to_posix_path: conv_to_posix_path (C:\Program Files\ICW\Bin, no-keep-rel, no-add-slash) normalize_win32_path: C:\Program Files\ICW\Bin = normalize_win32_path (C:\Program Files\ICW\Bin) mount_info::conv_to_posix_path: /Bin = conv_to_posix_path (C:\Program Files\ICW\Bin) cwdstuff::get: posix /Bin cwdstuff::get: (/Bin) = cwdstuff::get (0xA701A0, 32768, 1, 0), errno 0 normalize_posix_path: /Bin/.test = normalize_posix_path (.test) mount_info::conv_to_win32_path: conv_to_win32_path (/Bin/.test) set_flags: flags: binary (0x2) mount_info::conv_to_win32_path: src_path /Bin/.test, dst C:\Program Files\ICW\Bin\.test, flags 0x3000A, rc 0 __set_errno: save_errno::~save_errno():47 val 0 __set_errno: save_errno::~save_errno():47 val 0 symlink_info::check: 0xC0000034 = NtQueryInformationFile (\??\C:\Program Files\ICW\Bin\.test) __set_errno: save_errno::~save_errno():47 val 0 __set_errno: save_errno::~save_errno():47 val 0 symlink_info::check: 0xC0000034 = NtQueryInformationFile (\??\C:\Program Files\ICW\Bin\.test.lnk) symlink_info::check: 0 = symlink.check (C:\Program Files\ICW\Bin\.test, 0x223848) (0x3000A) -- 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/
