in case you were unaware, junction points = hardlinks on ntfs.
Just exclude all of the WinXP directories like "Documents and Settings" to solve this. Vista users the "Users" directory instead..

That's because rsync is following the Vista junction points for the old
XP locations of things. See

for the excludes you need to pass to rsync.
