I've tried the patch - thanks Ben: details below. I'm not sure that
disabling chown automatically for --windows-mode is the right thing to
do - as I recall, if the destination partition is a cygwin partition
(obviously running under Windows) then the chown _will_ work, although
of course --windows-mode still needs to be specified.

The patch moved us on a bit, but I still have errors as shown below
(this to a virgin backup partition), which finally result in a fatal
error. If you need me to run with more debugging info just ask.
