Ok so I have figured out the problem with my rsync daemon is the fact that rsync interprets // as / and therefore is not seeing this as a unc path, but rather a absolute path.
and /cygdrive/h does not work because it is not setup outside of the cygwin environment, i.e. a windows service. I could add it to the registry for cygwin mount points, but I think a fix to the code might be better. Any suggestions in the source, where this // problem might live?
