Hi, cwRsync installation asks you a directory to keep your writeable modules in. Make sure that all writeable modules (read only = false) point to directories lying under this directory. In that way, you will make sure that -cwrsync- account has correct permissions and ownership.
In your case, this directory should be C:\ARCHIMED_INSTANCE. Of course, you can override this behaviour by specifying an other directory. You must then make sure that account -cwrsync- has full permissions to this directory. Don't forget to use CYGWIN=nontsec in your batch files when running rsync.
