It works, but again, only locally.

Is there a way to tell these variables to a cygwin service (i.e., rsyncd 
started with cygrunsrv?).

I tried to set them as a global variable (System -> Advanced -> 
Environment variables), started new console, restarted rsyncd service 
with cygrunsrv, but it doesn't have any effect on rsyncd service - files 
with UTF-8 characters still fail to transfer (file has vanished).

This time, I used rsync 3.0.0 binary on a Linux server, so it's not a 
problem with an old protocol etc.
