The cygwinb19.dll dependent tools (cygwin) often have problems
communicating with non-cygwinb19.dll dependent tools (native).  Since
RSH is a native tool then it isn't going to understand the path
structure passed to it by tar.

There is a host of emulation being done.  I suggest that if you can
get the source to RSH that you build it using the cygwin tools.

-------------------- IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTICE ------------------------
You should get the following to update your cygwinb19 package:

Sergey Okhapkin's coolview package which contains an updated 
cygwinb19.dll.  (Yes, even if you've already downloaded the b19.1 
update from the Cygnus Site).

Mumit Khan's compilation of EGCS for the cygwinb19.dll; especially if 
your using the C++ compiler.  The current version of the compiler that 
comes with the tools have lots of problems that have been fixed with 
the EGCS version.  This is a drop-in replacement for the GCC toolset.

URL's are listed above.
