I definitly have it in the right place.

from where the trouble begins:

dlopen("/cygdrive/c/rdiff-backup/xfer/zlib.dll", 2);
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "rdiff-backup", line 20, in ?
    import rdiff_backup.Main

  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/gzip.py", line 9, in ?
    import zlib
ImportError: dlopen: Win32 error 126

like so:
C:\rdiff-backup\xfer>dir zlib.dll
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is 0921-120A

 Directory of C:\rdiff-backup\xfer

10/10/2003  03:06 AM            18,944 zlib.dll
               1 File(s)         18,944 bytes
               0 Dir(s)   3,141,730,304 bytes free

C:\rdiff-backup\xfer>

i have searched my cygwin install for anymore zlib.dlls and thats the only
one.
rdiff-backup works fine in cygwin bash
