Well, version 1.1.15 is more than 9 months old at this point. You can  
either bug the Cygwin people to update the package, or build a new  
version (1.2.1) on Windows Cygwin yourself.

The alternative would be to stay at 1.1.15 on your client side as  
well. During the unstable development cycle (1.1.x), it was  
occasionally necessary to fix bugs or introduce new features in ways  
that broke backwards-compatibility.

With the new stable release, 1.2.x, backwards-compatibility is  
maintained.

You could also try using the new native Windows release of rdiff- 
backup (.exe), which does not require Cygwin. Although you may wish to  
continue using the ssh client/server in Cygwin for rdiff-backup's  
remote operations.
