I don't use rsync on the remote end - just mount the share as a Mac 
volume and do rsynv -rutv. The only problem with this though is that 
that the date stamps on the files on NT 4.0 boxes are wrong so rsync 
will always end up copying more files than it needs to (this is not 
destructive, but it does slow you down a bit). Maybe I should try 
runnign cygwin/rsync on the NT boxes...
