Yes, those packages are Linux-only.

Tommy,

You're going to gave to supply more information to help us debug your  
problem. I just tested rdiff-backup under Cygwin (Windows XP) and did  
not have any problems.

- Did you try 1.2.7 ?
- What OS are you running Cygwin under?
- What does the cacls (or icacls) command report for the source and  
destination?
- What does `ls -l` on the source and destination directories report?
- Are you running as an administrative user?

Also, what happens if you backup the directory using the native  
version of rdiff-backup?
