Let's say the problem comes from combining the manifest files with Synametrics'
rsync. As we can't drop the manifest files, since they are needed for vista and
work with netinstall (which is the "standard" installation method) on any
windows we've tested (XP, Vista, Windows 7), the fault goes to this version of
rsync.

Did you try with other versions of rsync? A quick search show cwrsync is a rsync
package for windows that doesn't require to install a full Cygwin environment.

I have to go now, but later I'll try other methods of "mirroring" like ftp or
plain copying from my linux box to my windows (virtual)box.

Manuel.
