I thought fsync didn't work on windows file systems at all. - this means 
smbfs, cifs and cygwin.
I think your patch might help, but I would like to eventually see 
rdiff-backup have full support for writing to windows filesystem. I am 
not sure what is involved fully, but one day I will get one of my guys 
to take a look.
