--acls trouble on NTFS source & destination

Thu Nov 6 13:43:00 GMT 2008

I can't get --acls to work at all. Do you?
When I use it for a RSYNC between a Windows NTFS hard drive and a NTFS USB 
drive, I get the following error message:
----
sending incremental file list
recv_acl_access: value out of range: ff
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at 
/home/lapo/packaging/rsync-3.0.4-1/src
/rsync-3.0.4/acls.c(670) [receiver=3.0.4]
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (9 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at 
/home/lapo/packaging/rsync-3.0.4-1/src
/rsync-3.0.4/io.c(632) [sender=3.0.4]
----
Also, using "--permission", or "-owner", or "-group" as kind of alternatives 
doesn't have any effect for all my tests.
Are these four parameters usable on Windows with Cygwin & RSYNC ?
How do you use RSYNC on NTFS remote syncs with Windows' access rights?
