From the rsync man page:
--modify-window
When comparing two timestamps rsync treats the
timestamps as being equal if they are within the
value of modify_window. This is normally zero, but
you may find it useful to set this to a larger
value in some situations. In particular, when
transferring to/from FAT filesystems which cannot
represent times with a 1 second resolution this
option is useful.
Try --modify-window=2. Let us know if that's the right solution.

On Win98. Not Cygwin's fault.
Lapo, that might be a good thing to mention in the
/usr/doc/Cygwin/rsync-<ver>.README file.
