After a little more poking around, it seems the problem goes away if one
of the networks is disabled.  Next thing for me to try:  binding rsync to
the correct network and leaving both active.

At the risk of stating what you already know, Administrators in Windows
don't automatically have access to everything (unlike root) and it's
possible for a user to revoke access to the Administrator account or to
the Administrator group.  If you have the user's credentials, you should
be able to grant permission to either or both.
