First: please do not use html messages
Your question:
I run rsyncd on my windows clients in a cygwin environment. Therfore I have
a /etc/rsyncd.conf with:
[C]
 path = /cygdrive/c/

and a exclude entry in backuppc which looks like:
/Windows/System Volume Information

Why do you use /mnt/windows instead /cygdrive/c/windows ?
