Problem excluding directories on windows

Hi, I'm using rsync 2.6.2 (and cygwin 1.5.10) for backups of my folders on my PC. rsync cannot open two system subdirectories in my home directory: "Program Files" and "System Volume Information". I tried including them in the exclude-file, to no avail. I suspect the problem may be the spaces in
