[rdiff-backup-users] rdiff-backup under Windows with Cygwin

I'm trying to use rdiff-backup with Cygwin to backup files from a
Windows system to a Linux server, but I'm running into a problem with
the file ownerships and permissions constantly getting messed up.

Here's an example. Here's the directory which should contain the backups:

drw-rw-rw- 5     666 financo 4096 Jul 26 17:04 .
drwxrwx--- 6 financo financo 4096 Jul 26 17:04 ..
drw-rw-rw- 9 financo financo 4096 Aug  5 12:01 monate
drw-rw-rw- 9 financo financo 4096 Aug 11 12:01 semajne
d---r-x--- 9  328384  328384 4096 Aug 16 12:01 tage

All directories should have permissions rw-rw-rw- and owners
financo:financo. In fact, they had yesterday, but obviously the daily
("tage") backup messed up the directory "tage" and ownership of ".".
The backup finished properly, though.

I could run a cron job to constantly reset the permissions and owners
to what they should be, but that would be a dirty work-around. I'd
much rather solve the actual problem.

sshd's log file (/var/log/audit/audit.log on my system) doesn't seem
to have anything useful.

Thanks.
