I'm not sure what exactly changed, but I never had to mount C: on the older
version I was using. At any rate, I used the generic rsyncd.conf file found in
the BackupPC docs, which were using "c:/<path>", which is why I used it. So
perhaps that needs updating as well when the updated rsync binaries are added
in.
Thanks,

It may not be a change in the dll's... perhaps you didn't mount the 'C'
drive...
In any case, i find the pure *nix style path specification to be more reliable
than relying on cygwin to do the conversions, especially when you are using
some type of Windows (C: drive) and *nix (/ forward slash) hybrid which is
incorrect on either platform alone except perhaps in the weird graciously
accommodating world of cygwin.
