if you use smb mounts, you loose rsync optimizations. Just install
cygwin and continue to use rsync. There is plenty of google fodder on
cwrysnc and similar systems (unison may be something good too)

I've done a little documentation at

you might scan
http://wt.pp.asu.edu/z2/do/copp/infotech/techNotes/sysAdmin/rsynk1/
http://wt.pp.asu.edu/z2/do/copp/infotech/techNotes/sysAdmin/cygssh/
http://wt.pp.asu.edu/z2/do/copp/infotech/techNotes/sysAdmin/pullscript/

and see if any of it is usefull. I haven't updated these docs in a
while but they may get you started.
