in thread Rsync Script

Yeah, this was sort of my thought, too.

If this was on *nix, I'd say look at bash to make this all work. I'm a little rusty on my Windows command-line stuff, but I'm pretty sure there's a way to see if there's an instance running. Or, of course, you could install cygwin and do it all from bash that way.
Really, though, if you hit Sourceforge, I'm pretty sure there are a bunch of front-ends for rsync that will run on Windows.
Might be worth a look!
