Good eyes and good catch.
For some reason it seems like I was looking at an old backup version
before I recently upgraded cygwin. The hard links were missing from
that older version.

In any case, all seems to be working fine. And to be sure the rsync
method is properly catching hard links and cygwin symbolic links. SO
all is good - sorry for the false alarm!
