It shouldn't be if it is mounted as a drive letter. 

Some versions of Cygwin use the syntax /cygdrive/d where d is the drive 
letter. So for example, for C:/WINNT/Profiles I have the following in a 
rsyncd.conf on a Cygwin installation of rsyncd: 

path = /cygdrive/c/WINNT/Profiles 

The other point to consider is whether you should run rsyncd directly on 
the other server whose filesystem is being mounted on the main Server 
2003 machine. Using the network file system will generate a ton of 
network traffic on your LAN, as rsyncd will need to scan the entire file 
system, and depending on the options you specified, every byte of the 
files to generate checksums.
