It's a Windows machine... but rsync generally comes from the Cygwin build,
which understands forward slashes and has mount points to symbolically
refer to paths...  So I'd expect to see

path = /cygdrive/H/jenni_rru

instead of what you've got.  I believe you may also need "use chroot =
false" for Windows.  Not sure if this is your problem, but I'm surprised
it works locally.
