It is possible to instruct cygwin not to reflect permission changes to windows' file system. This can be done by specifying CYGWIN=nontsec. In this case, all permission related changes ordered by rsync will be discarded. Rsync daemon implemented by cwrsync server uses cygwin=notnsec by default.
Cwrsync is simply a minimal 'rsync on cygwin' environment packaged into an installer. Rsync executable in cwrsync is compiled by using the last available rsync source (2.6.6 at the moment). If you are only interested in rsync, cwrsync can be a solution for you. Otherwise, I recommend to install a full-blown cygwin which offers much more than rsync.
